Pop superstar JADE kicks off 2025 with the release of her highly anticipated song ‘IT girl’.
‘IT girl’ is a bass-heavy, bold, tongue-in-cheek electro pop track. Written by JADE with Cirkut and Lostboy (Charli XCX, Lady Gaga), alongside Lauren Aquilina and J Hart, the sharp lyrics reflect her experiences in the music industry and the often ruthless and complex nature of fame.
The boisterous song has been highly anticipated by fans since it was first teased at the end of the music video for ‘Angel of My Dreams’, with many demanding the full release of the track.
JADE says: “IT girl is the c**nty little sister to ‘Angel of My Dreams’. There’s still so much that people don’t know about me, so I was eager to surprise people and prod the bear a bit. I have to write about my experiences in my own melodramatic way. I’m not going to sugarcoat it.”
JADE finished 2024 by winning the Trailblazer Award at The Rolling Stone UK Awards and appearing on the cover of the magazine. She was also included on many of the end of year ‘Best Of’ lists. ‘Angel Of My Dreams’ was named the No.1 song of 2024 by DIY Magazine and a Top 10 song by The Guardian, DORK, Clash and NME. In addition Dazed named JADE video of the year.
‘Angel Of My Dreams’ has also been a huge commercial success. The track has accumulated over 80 million streams to date, entering the UK Official Singles Chart at No.7, the third highest new entry for a British artist this year. The accompanying video was a No.1 YouTube trending video for 10 days and has had 10 million views. The song remained in the Official UK Singles Chart Top 20 for two months. Since then JADE has dropped two more tracks, ‘Midnight Cowboy’. a sultry, understated bass heavy bop about owning your sexuality and the sleek disco-tinged ‘Fantasy’, complete with a video directed by the iconic David LaChapelle.
