Kylie viewed self-acceptance as a trait to the song, saying “If I'm sad, if I'm happy, if I'm dirty, if I'm whatever Just accept me that way.” The chorus lyrics 'I'm eager and ready / It only hurts sometimes / I run to the future and jump,' talks about her sense of “enthusiasm in going forward” and not being afraid of the future. She confessed that she had become irritated in business meetings and tried not to allow that to interfere her day. She explained that aspects of 'Jump' talked about how her emotions and specific “scenarios” would interfere in daily life situations.

In January 1998, 'Jump', alongside five other album tracks, were included on an exclusive cassette tape and given to Deconstruction members to select their opinion on which should be the third single 'Jump' lost respectively to ' Breathe'. Deconstruction did not believe any songs they decided were suitable, so instead issued 'Limbo' as a B-side to the newly decided single ' Some Kind of Bliss'. After their discussion for a single, both Kylie and Anderson disagreed with each other and asked the staff of Deconstruction to decide on the single. Kylie wanted to release ' Limbo' as the lead single from the studio album, believing that the sound of 'Limbo' was strong and “radio friendly.” However, her creative director Steve Anderson did not agree with her choice and believed that ' Too Far' or 'Jump' best represented the album. Hadfield was unimpressed with the new improvements and a May release and a back-up September release were all scrapped. This led to reproducing new music to make the album 'perfect', and a potential January release was postponed until May. Sednaoui asked his friend to organized a meeting between Dougan and Kylie they both met in London.ĭeconstruction planned to release a lead single in January 1997, but Hadfield was concerned with the quality of most of the songs.
