For immediate release - Jonas Blue returns to Defected Records with ‘Girl’, the highly anticipated follow-up to his 2025 mega-hit ‘Edge Of Desire’. Since the release of ‘Edge Of Desire’ with Malive in the height of summer, July 2025, the fiery house heater has gained over 200 million global streams thanks to consistent Shazam chart peaks and playlist support on the world’s biggest stations across the UK, US, France, Spain, Italy, The Netherlands, Australia and now South America.
The release was also supported by remixes from artists across the wider house spectrum, including Franky Rizardo, Jazz-N-Groove and Serve Cold & Grigoré, as well as a Sunrise version accompanied by a DJ mix direct from Ibiza.
Now almost a year later, he returns to the London house institution with ‘Girl’, a fresh and summery record that sees Jonas bringing his global crossover power into the Defected world. With an undeniably catchy vocal hook supported by addictive guitar patterns and a headsy four-on-the-floor groove, prepare to hear ‘Girl’ across the globe from open-air parties to long club nights throughout 2026 and well beyond.
From Jonas Blue: “This record really came from a place of pure nostalgia for me. I’ve always had a deep love for French house and that early 2000s era of house music, the kind of tracks that were simple, catchy, and just made you feel good instantly. I feel like somewhere along the way, we lost a bit of that playful energy, especially when it comes to hooks that people can sing back without even thinking. ‘Girl’ was my way of tapping back into that – it was one of those sessions that just flowed naturally, no overthinking, just chasing a feeling. I’m really excited for everyone to hear it, especially on Defected, it feels like the perfect home for this kind of sound.”
The year ahead will also see Jonas continue to captivate global attention with his 14-date US tour selling out shows in Los Angeles, New York and Toronto, new residencies at Hï Ibiza and Las Vegas, and a wealth of new music in the pipeline.
Jonas Blue ‘Girl’ is out Friday 29th May 2026 on Defected Records.
