Angel of My Dreams
"Angel of My Dreams" is the debut solo single by English singer Jade. It was released on 19 July 2024, through RCA Records, marking her first solo endeavour after her band Little Mix began a hiatus in May 2022. It is the lead single from her debut studio album, That's Showbiz Baby (2025). Jade co-wrote the song with Steph Jones, Pablo Bowman and its producer Mike Sabath. Because the song samples and interpolates 1967 Eurovision Song Contest winning song "Puppet on a String" by English singer Sandie Shaw, Bill Martin and Phil Coulter received writing credits.
"Angel of My Dreams" received widespread acclaim from critics with praise given towards the track lyrics, use of sample, and exploration of different genres. It was included on various mid-year and year-end rankings of the best songs of 2024, including by Billboard and The Independent. It addresses Jade's complex relationship with the music industry.
The music video pays homage to Jade's hometown of South Shields, and features home footage from her childhood including her audition from The X Factor. The music video was inspired by the films The Fifth Element, Black Swan and Showgirls. At the 2025 Brit Awards, it was nominated for Song of the Year.
After Little Mix went on a previously announced hiatus following the conclusion of the Confetti Tour in May 2022, Jade began working on her solo projects and music. On 2 July 2024, she revealed the artwork and the release date of "Angel of My Dreams" to all of her and her team's social media accounts. The single and its accompanying music video were released on 19 July 2024. On the same day, Jade's name and the name of the song were projected onto the Angel of the North sculpture to commemorate the release.
The track was also made available for purchase as a 7-inch vinyl single, a cassette single and a CD single through Jade's online store. On 9 August 2024, Jade released a "Slow. Angelic. Dramatic." version of the track, along with an official live performance being uploaded onto her YouTube channel. A remix version with American DJ the Blessed Madonna was also released.
"Angel of My Dreams" was co-written during a studio session in Los Angeles, alongside Steph Jones, Pablo Bowman and producer Mike Sabath, whom she worked with whilst still in Little Mix. Musically, it incorporates elements of pop, electronica, electroclash, and dance-pop, and samples Sandie Shaw's song "Puppet on a String"—United Kingdom's winning entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1967. Bill Martin and Phil Coulter who co-wrote "Puppet on a String" were also given writing credits.
Upon the song's release, Jade said: "I want people to be like 'oh my god, I didn't expect that' – but then want to listen again". She added: "I didn't want to do a safe first single, that was really important to me. I'm setting the tone of who I am as an artist on my own". Some commentators speculated over references made to her past career, particularly the lyrics "Sold my soul to a psycho" with the term "psycho" alluding to Syco Entertainment, a record label that Little Mix was previously signed to from 2011 and 2018. Jade told Beat Magazine that she did not intend to disparage her time with Syco but she wanted the lyrics and production of the song to reflect her overall journey navigating the music industry.
The video for "Angel of My Dreams" was directed by Aube Perrie and filmed in London in April 2024. Among the filming locations were Deptford High Street and the Laban building. It details the story of Jade's career in the music industry and opens with a shot of her walking alongside a busy high street, reminiscent of her hometown of South Shields. In the video, she is seen busking on the high street, before it transitions into different scenes where she plays various personas. It features home footage of JADE performing as a child and includes clips from when she auditioned for The X Factor UK. Inspirations for the video were also drawn from the films Showgirls (1995), The Fifth Element (1997) and Black Swan (2010). Speaking to Billboard, Jade shared that Britney Spears's video for "Lucky' was also among inspirations, adding: "I am obsessed with pop and looking at all the pop girlies that I love, they are the ones doing the absolute most. Like the looks, the choreo, the big songs, big choruses ... that is what I want to deliver."
