What is Jess Glynne's new song called?
Jess' latest song is called 'Friend Of Mine', and was released on her 34th birthday in October 2023.
Speaking about the song, Jess said: "This song is about honesty and forgiveness. All friendships and relationships have their ups and downs, life isn’t perfect. Hopefully people can hear their own stories in the lyrics and it brings them hope.
"I wrote ‘Friend of Mine’ with one of my closest friends and collaborators, Jin Jin. We have worked together so much over the years but this was a real moment for us. It was my first time working with Sub Focus and Ollie Green, and it felt really special walking into a room with such open, safe souls."
