Jessie Ware found working with her kids to be a "f****** nightmare".
The 41-year-old singer has three kids - a nine-year-old daughter and two sons, aged seven and four - with her husband Sam Burrows, and Jessie admits that it was stressful having her children record vocals for her song Love You For.
Speaking to People, Jessie explained: "I thought it was going to be this really romantic moment, like Stevie Wonder with Isn't She Lovely, or Minnie Riperton singing about Maya Rudolph. And they were f****** little animals."
Jessie remembers the recording being particularly "chaotic", coming after a family trip to London Zoo.
She shared: "They're not show kids. They're coming to their mum's office, and they see things to be able to play like pianos and whirlies, but wanting to just sing about poo."
Jessie often takes her children with her on tour - but they don't enjoy the experience.
The singer said: "Who would want to go and watch their mom for an hour and a half?
"That's boring, and that's how it should be.
"They like the whole circus about it. They like the sweets backstage. They like that someone will put some glitter on them. But also it's very normal. They aren't that impressed. I'm definitely not their favourite singer, and that's okay."
Meanwhile, Jessie recently claimed that ageism is still an issue in the music industry.
The singer believes radio is a "bit ageist" and sexist - but she doesn't allow the situation to bother her too much.
Speaking to People, Jessie explained: "Ageism is still, I think, an issue in some spaces, but I think that I pay less attention to it.
"I still think it's a bit ageist in radio. And sexist. Not every radio. But I do think it's changed."
Jessie believes the music industry was less image-obsessed during her younger years.
The pop star - who released her debut album, Devotion, in 2012 - explained: "The people that I was looking at and inspired by were the people that had longevity — Annie Lennox, Sade, Whitney Houston, Chaka Khan. It didn't feel like there was a shelf life on them, their music and what they could give. Probably because it was led by the vocals and the song."
