Here's everything we know about Jade's new song 'It Girl'.

Jade Thirlwall, who is now going by just 'JADE', made a huge splash with the first single and music video of her solo career.

'IT Girl' is the next single from Jade, which she's just confirmed will come out on Friday 10th January. The song was originally called 'That's Showbiz, Baby' but as she urged fans to pre-save the single, she announced on X: "Everyone referring to this track as IT girl may or may not have made me change the name."

'Angel Of My Dreams' dropped in July 2024; the shape-shifting banger, which delves into Jade's love/hate relationship with the spotlight, was extremely well received and had mega success despite its alternative sound. She followed it up with disco banger 'Fantasy' in October, which fans loved just as much.

But with such an epic first move as a solo artist fans (and everyone in the industry) fans have been anticipating what she'll do next. It's been confirmed by Jade herself that Raye's input is all over her upcoming album, set to come out in 2025, so we can't wait to see what these girls have cooked up!

The former Little Mix star has been seen filming new music videos, and she even teased her new songs at fan events. So while we (im)patiently wait for new Jade music, here's everything we know about what's coming next.

The tabloids claimed in September that Jade had wrapped filming for the music videos of her songs 'Midnight Cowboy', which came out in October 2024, and 'IT Girl'.

An insider said: “Jade wants to keep the momentum going from 'Angel Of My Dreams' and was thrilled with the reception she got from fans.

“She has been working on locked-down secret shoots in London and plans to link the two videos thematically. She loves to give a nod to her own songs and costumes in the filming, so expect some clever Easter eggs.”

'Midnight Cowboy' was 'leaked' by Jade herself when she played some of it to fans at a club in São Paulo, Brazil. The lyrics giddy up, it's the wild wild west and Midnight Cowboy made it easy to link the song she teased and the 'confirmed' song name together.

She's dropped just as many teasers about 'IT Girl', thought to be a continuation of 'Angel of My Dreams', too, releasing snippets on Instagram and TikTok. She was also spotted filming the video at various locations in London, including Piccadilly Circus and Soho.

She shared part of the song and its music video at a fan event when she was celebrating the release of her first solo single. The red-haired Jade in the 'AOMD' music video stars in the video that has been teased.

Jade has been seen in a baby tee with the song's title on it, so it seems to be confirmed. Somehow fans even found an unlisted video on her YouTube with the title 'That's Showbiz, Baby' however the page was quickly made private.

In mid-November, the singer previewed the track at a club in New York where she was seen on stage singing along to what was playing over the speakers.

Unlike 'Midnight Cowboy' this song seems to follow the same themes to 'AOMD' which explains why its music video links to it.

Lyrics to the song that we know so far are: I am the it girl, I am the sh*t girl, I got the whole world between my hips girl / Sign all your life away baby, smile but don't show your teeth, say goodbye to autonomy / Now your body belongs to me / Put me on the pedestal, watch me dance / Dance to the beat until I can't stand, stand up face first to the man, man.

We are so ready for this next song, and of course the entire album set to come out in 2025!
