Pop sensati has officially kicked off 2025 with the release of her highly anticipated single, “IT Girl”.
The track is a bold, bass-heavy electro-pop anthem. Packed with attitude and sharp lyrics, the song reflects JADE’s personal experiences in the music industry and the complexities of fame. Co-written with hitmakers Cirkut, Lostboy (known for his work with Charli XCand Lady Gaga), Lauren Aquilina and J Hart, the tongue-in-cheek lyrics cut deep while delivering a catchy, high-energy sound.
Fans have been eagerly awaiting the track since it was first teased at the end of JADEs “Angel of My Dreams” music video. The teaser sparked a frenzy, with fans flooding social media demanding the song be released in its entirety.
Speaking about the single, JADE said:
“‘IT girl’ is the nice little sister of ‘Angel of My Dreams’. There is still so much that people don’t know about me, so I was eager to surprise people and prick the bear a bit. I have to write about my experiences on my own melodramatic way. I’m not going to sugarcoat it.”
JADE ended 2024 on a career high, winning the Trailblazer Award at The Rolling Stone UK Awards and gracing the cover of the magazine. She also dominated the end of the year Best Of lists, with “Angel of My Dreams” named number 1 song of 2024 by DIY Magazine and lands among the top 10 over The Guardian, DORK, Collideand NME. The track’s visually stunning music video took the crown Video of the year of Confused.
In the lists, “Angel of My Dreams” has been a great success. The song has amassed over 80 million streams and peaked at number 7 on the UK Official Singles Chart, marking the third highest debut for a UK artist last year. Its music video topped YouTube for ten consecutive days, garnering over 10 million views, and the track held strong in the UK Top 20 for two months.
Since then, JADE has kept the momentum going with two more tracks. “Midnight Cowboy” offered a sultry, bass-driven ode to self-confidence, while ‘Fantasy’ delivered a classy disco-inspired vibe with a visually stunning video directed by the legendary David LaChapelle.
