But “Music.,” released today in advance of [her album _Mad Love._ on Oct. 14](http://time.com/4475058/new-music-2016-albums/?iid=sr-link1), is a whole other story: a spare, deeply felt love song to the consistent power of music throughout the ups and downs of her life. The video, a compilation of home movies from JoJo’s childhood, shows her singing, dancing, and acting her way through her youth; it’s clear this was a girl completely addicted to the stage from an early age. But it’s the lyrics that are both heartbreaking and uplifting, delivered over a stripped-down piano composition. The story also becomes personal, as JoJo mentions the struggles her family has been through. “Went on the road to make me Daddy proud, but I lost him so I sang to the crowd. My only hope is that he’s looking down, thinking, ‘Oh my God, my daughter’s doing it now.” Watch below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4522855/watch-jojo-become-a-star-before-your-eyes-in-her-new-music-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4522855/watch-jojo-become-a-star-before-your-eyes-in-her-new-music-video/"},"headline":"Watch JoJo Become a Star Before Your Eyes in Her New Music Video","datePublished":"2016-10-07T17:01:53.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:37:26.576Z","description":"\"Who would I be without you?
