"Jezebel" is a soulful ballad by the British band Sade , first appearing on their multi-platinum second studio album, Promise , released on November 4, 1985. The song has since become a staple of their discography, later included in major compilations like The Best of Sade (1994) and The Ultimate Collection (2011).

The song tells the story of a woman named Jezebel who rises from poverty to a life of glamor through sheer ambition and pride.

The line "Every winter was a war she said / I want to get what's mine" highlights the struggles she faced before her success.
