Released in 2010 as part of her debut album "Lovestrong," the song was written by Perri along with Barrett Yeretsian and Drew Lawrence. It gained widespread popularity after being featured on the television show "So You Think You Can Dance." "Jar of Hearts" is a poignant ballad that explores themes of heartbreak, betrayal, and resilience in relationships.
