JADE has shared her new single ‘IT Girl’ – check it out below.The former Little Mix singer’s bass heavy electro pop track, reflects “her experiences in the music industry and the often ruthless and complex nature of fame” according to a press release.

You can listen to it below.She said: “IT girl is the c*nty little sister to [debut single] ‘Angel Of My Dreams‘. There’s still so much that people don’t know about me, so I was eager to surprise people and prod the bear a bit.

I have to write about my experiences in my own melodramatic way. I’m not going to sugarcoat it.”Written by JADE with Cirkut and Lostboy, who has previously worked with Charli XCX and Lady Gaga, along with Lauren Aquilina and J Hart, the disco driven track sees her singing the spiky lyrics: “Sign on the line for me / Baby, smile, but don’t show your teeth / Say ‘Goodbye’ to autonomy / Now your body belongs to me.”It comes after she recently recalled her stint on The X Factor, saying she didn’t know anyone who came away from the show without “some sort of mental health issue”.The singer-songwriter featured on the talent search programme in 2011 and joined girl Little Mix when she was 18-years-old.“I don’t think that kind of show can exist any more.

We’re in a different place now,” JADE said. “We wouldn’t put someone that’s mentally unwell on a TV screen and laugh at them while they sing terribly.
