Jessie Ware Ignites the Dancefloor With Sultry New Single “Ride” Ahead of Upcoming Album Superbloom

After first teasing fans with a surprise live debut at Glastonbury in 2024, Jessie Ware has officially released “Ride,” a bold, sensual new single that signals the next era of her sound — and sets the stage for her forthcoming album, Superbloom.

Originally unveiled at the iconic NYC Downlow nightclub immediately following her headline performance on the festival’s West Holts stage, “Ride” quickly became one of the most talked-about unreleased tracks among fans. Now, after nearly two years of anticipation, the song arrives in its full studio form — and it delivers exactly the kind of euphoric, body-moving energy audiences hoped for.

Built on a hypnotic groove that subtly nods to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly theme, the track unfolds as a slow-burning dancefloor moment. Ware’s commanding vocal sits front and center, radiating confidence, desire, and control. Lyrics like “I’m bad / Beautiful / Hold my hips / Watch me move” capture a playful but powerful sensuality that has become a signature of her recent work, blending intimacy with cinematic scale.

Speaking about the single, Ware revealed its personal significance in shaping the new project.

“‘Ride’ was the first song I wrote for this record,” she said. “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.”

She also recalled the moment fans first heard it live.

“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 single offers a glimpse into Superbloom, due April 10, which promises to place Ware at the center of a world defined by glamour, tension, and physicality. Early indications suggest the album will continue her evolution into sophisticated, disco-infused pop while expanding its cinematic ambition.

With “Ride,” Ware once again demonstrates why she remains one of contemporary pop’s most compelling voices — an artist equally at home delivering emotional nuance and commanding the dancefloor. The track feels both like a celebration of her current creative peak and a confident teaser of what’s still to come.

“Ride” is out now via Interscope Records, with Superbloom available for pre-order.
