Sober (Jennifer Paige song)

"Sober" is a song by American singer Jennifer Paige, released in 2008 as the lead single from her third studio album, Best Kept Secret. The song marks a departure from Paige's earlier pop sound, incorporating elements of electronic and dance music. It was co-written by Paige with Jimmy Harry and Scott Cutler, and produced by Jimmy Harry. "Sober" focuses on the emotional vulnerability and raw honesty experienced after a period of intoxication or emotional masking, where true feelings become more apparent. While not achieving the same international success as her debut single "Crush," "Sober" was well-received by some critics and found moderate success on dance charts in certain territories. It explored more mature themes compared to her previous work and showcased a shift in Paige's musical direction. The single was supported by a music video that further emphasized the song's themes of emotional exposure and facing reality.
