Before I Ever Met You

Jillian Banks is a Los Angeles songwriter who turned to music at the age of 15 to combat a bout of depression. Expressing her fear and loneliness through music helped her cope. This was her the lead single from her debut EP Fall Over, which was released on March 1, 2013. The song later found its way on to Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show and the exposure triggered a breakthrough year for the singer. "'Before I Ever Met You' was the first one to come out and that just dives into the grit and it's pretty graphic about a relationship," Banks told Digital Spy . "For my first song, it was very special the way it happened, because I didn't really hold anything back and people responded to it."

The Sun asked Jillian Banks why she just uses her surname when performing? "Because I like the name Banks," she replied. "It's strong, feminine, masculine, big, small, brave and scared."

Waiting Game Lyrics

I'm thinking it over
The way you make me feel all sexy but it's causing me shame
I wanna lean on your shoulder
I wish I was in love but I don't wanna cause any pain
And if I'm feeling like I'm evil, we've got nothing to gain

What if I never even see you cause we're both on a stage
Don't tell me listen to your song because it isn't the same
I don't wanna say your love is a Waiting Game

Baby I'm thinking it over
What if the way we started made it something cursed from the start
What if it only gets colder
Would you still wrap me up and tell me that you think this was smart
Cause lately I've been scared of even thinking 'bout where we are

What if I never even see you cause we're both on a stage
Don't tell me listen to your song because it isn't the same
I don't wanna say your love is a waiting game

What if I never even see you cause we're both on a stage
Don't tell me listen to your song because it isn't the same
I don't wanna say your love is a waiting game

Waiting Game

This was covered by Neon Jungle on their Welcome to the Jungle album, which was released a month before Banks' own Goddess set. The American singer accused the British girl group of failing to get her permission to cover the tune. "People keep asking why I let Neon Jungle put my song 'Waiting Game' on their album when my album has yet to come out," she wrote on her Facebook page. "The answer is I was never asked. I was as shocked as you to see this song made up of my own heartbeats on their album."

"A song that was born from my real life, my real heartache, my real fingertips when I was at one of the most confusing times in my life," Banks added. "How strange it is to see it used on someone else's album before it even comes out on mine. It makes me feel very uncomfortable."

"I am a new artist and new to this business and I am told it is legal. But it feels really icky. I guess I can only hope 'Waiting Game' means as much to Neon Jungle as it did to me when I wrote it."

Banks performed this song along with "Beggin' For Thread" when she made her TV debut on the August 7, 2014 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live.

The song was used to soundtrack the scene in Divergent when Tris goes to visit her brother Caleb at Erudite headquarters.
