Jessie J has proved she’s more than Pitch Perfect with the video for new single, ‘Flashlight’.

The tune, which features on the soundtrack for Pitch Perfect 2 (see what we did there), sees Jessie perform the song at the ACTUAL campus of Louisiana State University in Baton Rogue, where the likes of Rebel Wilson and Anna Kendrick shot the flick.

But, would the ‘Bang Bang’ singer make a good Barden Bella? Could she rival the sassiness of Fat Amy? Here’s our take on Miss. J’s chances…

1) You can always rely on Jessie to hit THOSE high notes.

2) She knows more rifts, runs and licks that you can shake a stick at.

3) Totes obvious one, but she can sing a capella like a pro. Aca-awesome. 

4) She can sing with her mouth closed. WUT. 

5) Not even a broken foot can stop her performing. That’s dedication. 

6) She’s loves a good vocal battle. Did you not see her on The Voice?! 

7) Jessie’s a self-confessed ‘Sweet Talker’ and has THE contacts… Hello? Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande anyone?

View the lyrics
She got a body like an hourglass
But I can give it to you all the time
She got a booty like a Cadillac
But I can send you into overdrive, oh

You've been waiting for that
Step on up, swing your bat
See, anybody could be bad to you
You need a good girl to blow your mind, yeah

Bang-bang into the room (I know you want it)
Bang-bang all over you (I'll let you have it)
Just wait a minute, let me take you there (ah)
And wait a minute 'til you (ah, hey!)

Bang-bang, there goes your heart (I know you want it)
Back-back seat of my car (I'll let you have it)
Just wait a minute, let me take you there (ah)
And wait a minute 'til you (ah, hey!)

She might've let you hold her hand in school
But I'ma show you how to graduate (mhm)
No, I don't need to hear you talk the talk (hey, hey, hey)
Just come and show me what your mama gave, oh (alright)

I heard you've got a very big (shh)
Mouth, but don't say a thing
See, anybody could be good to you
You need a bad girl to blow your mind

Bang-bang into the room (I know you want it)
Bang-bang all over you (I'll let you have it)
Just wait a minute, let me take you there (ah)
And wait a minute 'til you (ah, hey!)

Bang-bang, there goes your heart (I know you want it)
Back, backseat of my car (seat of my car), I'll let you have it
Just wait a minute, let me take you there (you know what, girls?)
And wait a minute 'til you, ah, hey (let me show you how to do it)

It's Myx moscato, it's frizz in a bottle
It's Nicki Full Throttle, it's oh-oh
Swimming in The Grotto, we winning in the lotto'
We dipping in the powder blue, four-door
Kitten so good, it's dripping on wood
Get a ride in the engine that could go

Batman, robbin' it, bang-bang, cocking it
Queen Nicki dominant, prominent
It's me, Jessie and Ari', if they test me, they sorry
Ride his, uh, like a Harley then pull off in his Ferrari
If he hanging, we banging, phone ranging, he slanging
It ain't karaoke night but get the mic' 'cause I'm singing

Uh, B to the A to the N to the G to the-
Uh, B to the A to the N to the G to the, hey
See, anybody could be good to you
You need a bad girl to blow your mind
Your mind, hey (okay)

Bang-bang into the room (I know you want it)
Bang-bang all over you (bang, bang, bang, bang), I'll let you have it
Just wait a minute, let me take you there (ah)
And wait a minute 'til you (ah-yeah, yeah-uh-huh, ah, hey!)

Bang-bang, there goes your heart (there goes your heart), I know you want it
Back-back seat of my car (back of my car), I'll let you have it
Just wait a minute, let me take you there (let me take you there)
And wait a minute 'til you (ah, hey!)

Bang-bang into the room (I know you want it)
Bang-bang all over you (all over you, baby)
Yo, I said, bang, bang, bang, b-bang, bang
Bang, bang, bang, bang, b-bang, bang

Bang-bang, there goes your heart (I know you want it)
Back, backseat of my car, I'll let you have it (oh-oh)
Just wait a minute, let me take you there (ah)
And wait a minute 'til you (ah, hey!)
