Thought you were a die-hard fan of skincare and grooming? Well, John Legend might just have you beat when it comes to him and SK-II.
The popular singer recently caused a bit of a stir when he dropped a surprise love song – and it wasn’t dedicated to his wife Chrissy Teigen. Now, hear us out before you roll your eyes in disbelief though – it’s a celebration of Legend’s love for SK-II’s ever popular Pitera Essence.

In the video, John Legend is accompanied by a host of familiar faces (pun intended) linked to SK-II such as James Corden, Naomi Watanabe and Tang Wei. Despite Legend’s best, soulful efforts, a certain Mr. Corden remained ruefully unimpressed.
Legend commented on the creative process writing the song, explaining, “I had so much fun writing ‘Oh Pitera’! I was at home and sat down at the piano and the whole song came to me in about 30 minutes.” The award-winning singer and songwriter went on to think aloud, “Perhaps it really is a miracle water? It was such a pleasure to join James Corden and the all-star cast to celebrate the wonders of SK-II and bring the song to life.”

In case you’re wondering about SK-II’s Pitera Essence, here’s what you need to know. The essence traces its origins to Japan, where it was observed that the hands of sake brewers appeared a lot more youthful, compared to their faces. The Pitera Essence contains extracts sourced from yeast fermentation at sake breweries, as well as a host of vitamins, minerals and amino acids that allows you to achieve crystal clear skin, earning it the moniker “miracle water”.
