"Jealous" is a song recorded by Irish singer Sinéad O'Connor for her fifth studio album Faith and Courage (2000).
In 1998, Sinéad O'Connor left label Ensign Records and signed with Atlantic Records, but her album was delayed due to the birth of her daughter as well as several personal struggles, including an alleged suicide attempt, a bitter custody battle and becoming a priestess in a religious order.
[1][2] O'Connor described Faith and Courage, her first album with Atlantic, as a record about "survival" which depicted her own troubled "journey" as she bared her soul on a series of autobiographical and often cathartic songs.
[1] Wall of Sound commented that the song "ruminate on loves lost, found, and, in most cases, fondly remembered".
[3] Davíð Logi Sigurðsson, while reviewing Faith and Courage for Icelandic newspaper Morgunblaðið, thought that "Jealous" was probably the best song on the album.
