She has repeatedly explained in interviews that this is a misreading of her meaning, which skewers the superficiality of conspicuous consumption. "For me, so much I hear about how much money people have and how people just take stuff too seriously. It’s not me saying that you can live for free, because obviously that isn’t the case; but I’m saying that you don’t always have to let it be about that. It’s isn’t always about how much your shoes cost. It’s about the fact that you even have a pair of shoes to walk in."〔Clayton Perry, ("Interview: Jessie J – Singer and Songwriter" ), Clayton Perry's Interview Exclusives (website), 21 January 2011〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Price Tag」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
