Jessie Ware returns with ‘Ride’, a bold, body-moving new track first unveiled at Glastonbury’s NYC Downlow nightclub straight after her headline performance on the West Holts stage in 2024.
A slow-burning, high-heat dancefloor moment, ‘Ride’ is pure Jessie: confident, sensual, and made for movement. Built around a hypnotic groove that subtly replays The Good, the Bad and the Ugly theme and a commanding vocal, Ware leans fully into desire and control – “I’m bad / Beautiful / Hold my hips / Watch me move” – delivering a track that feels both playful and powerful, intimate and expansive.
Talking about the track Jessie said, “Ride was the first song I wrote for this record. I made it in 2024 with my best friend Jack Peñate and Karma Kid, who feature throughout the album. It’s a song for the clubs, for the dancefloor – fun, cinematic, cheeky and powerful. I first performed it at NYC Downlow at Glastonbury after headlining West Holts, and I’ve been waiting two years to finally put it out. I know others have been waiting too… So here it is. You’re welcome.”
The track is taken from Jessie Ware’s upcoming album Superbloom, due for release on 10th April, placing Ware at the centre of a cinematic world charged with tension, glamour and physicality.
‘Ride’ marks another statement from an artist operating at the height of her powers, teasing what’s next while firmly owning the dance floor.
