Jax Jones reconnecting with the deeper club sounds that first shaped his musical identity on his latest single, “Pull Me Back” – a new collaboration with one of dance music’s most sought-after voices, Clementine Douglas.
Released today, the track sees the British producer step away from the pop-heavy side of his catalog and lean towards a more emotionally driven club record, pairing soaring vocals with a euphoric, late-night energy. Co-written by Jones and Douglas, “Pull Me Back” balances dance floor speed with the kind of songwriting craft that has become a defining characteristic of both artists.
Clementine has emerged as one of the most sought-after songwriters and singers in electronic music in recent years, lending her voice to records by artists including MK and Calvin Harris. On “Pull Me Back”her performance sits at the heart of the track, delivering a sense of yearning and release that elevates the record beyond prime-time club fare.
To mark the release of the single, Jones collaborated with Jerk off for an unconventional live stream event from London venue XOYO. Broadcasting globally, the producer completed a two-hour treadmill run while performing a live DJ set, combining endurance challenge and club culture spectacle in equal measure.
The release comes during a particularly active period for Jones. Fresh from a Boiler Room performance, the producer is gearing up for a string of high-profile summer gigs, including sets at Silverstone Formula 1 and Ibiza mainstay Pacha.
Over the past decade, the ‘OUT OUT’ hitmaker has established himself as one of the most commercially successful figures in British dance music. His catalog includes eight UK Top 10 singles, more than 60 million records sold worldwide and over nine billion streams globally, helping to define the sound of mainstream dance music throughout the streaming era.
But despite his crossover success, Jones has consistently maintained a connection to club culture. Alongside collaborations with artists i.a RAY, MNEC, Demi Lovato and Charli XCXhas continued to champion emerging talent through his WUGD imprint, positioning himself as both an artist-focused hitmaker and a curator of emerging dance music voices.
That balance between commercial appeal and underground credibility has become a hallmark of Jones’ career. While his greatest records have dominated radio and festival stages, “Pull Me Back” serves as a reminder of the club foundations that continue to inform his work.
As the summer club and festival season heats up, the single signals a renewed focus on the dance floor from an artist whose influence on modern British electronic music remains hard to ignore.
“Pull Me Back” is available now via all major streaming platforms.
