It's been a long time coming, but after teasing a return to music in 2023 with a new record label, Jess Glynne has now released her comeback song 'Silly Me', along with the music video.

Jess took to her socials to share the exciting release telling her fans in an Instagram Story: 'I'm officially back in your ears'.

Along with releasing her song, which is about 'learning from your mistakes and growing from them', Jess shared the music video on YouTube which shows Jess in surrealist landscapes of memories and moments of reflection. Take a look below...

Speaking about her new song, which was written by Jess along with Knox Brown (who has worked with RAYE and Stormzy), she said: "This song really is about learning from your mistakes and growing from them. Life isn’t perfect, we all mess up along the way and have moments where we have felt silly, but what matters is picking yourself up and not being too hard on yourself."

How did Jess announce her new song?

Taking to her socials to confirm her new music will be coming on 28th April, Jess wrote: 'SILLY ME… 28/04. Pre-save link in bio'.

She also shared a short black and white video of herself which is also narrated by her, saying: "I haven't done a project of my own for five years! How much I have changed in that period of time, how much my life has changed. I've really come to a place in my life where, I feel so incredibly content with the woman I am today. The fear and the (you know) doubt just disappears."

Since announcing her comeback song, fans have been leaving exciting messages, with one writing: 'Amazing!!!!! Yes girl ❤️❤️❤️❤️', and another saying: 'Screaming omg Jess love you'. (sic)
