Since then, she has continued to build momentum, dropping two more tracks, "Midnight Cowboy" and "Fantasy," both of which have been met with fanfare.
Now, in March 2025, Jade has released her fourth single, "IT Girl," an electrifying anthem that further solidifies her unique sound. But she’s not stopping there—she has already started teasing another track titled "FUFN," leaving fans eager for what’s next.
