Saddle up for a sultry showdown with JADE’s “Midnight Cowboy,” a fiery promotional single from her debut solo album THAT’S SHOWBIZ BABY!, set to dazzle on Friday, September 12, 2025! Fresh from Little Mix’s iconic hits like “Shout Out to My Ex,” JADE unleashes her inner rebel in this pop-electronica banger, dripping with 2000s R&B swagger. With Ncuti Gatwa’s theatrical intro and lyrics like “I’ma saddle him up, hold him down,” JADE owns her sexuality and confidence, channeling a Wild West fantasy.
Co-written with Raye, the track’s playful defiance—calling herself “Calamity JADE” and “Mr. Enninful”—sets X abuzz with fan love. Unlike the introspective “Angel Of My Dreams,” “Midnight Cowboy” is a bold, club-ready anthem that demands you dance. As JADE carves her solo path, this song is a taste of her fearless artistry. Get ready to clap for the encore and vibe with its seductive pulse! Dive into the Midnight Cowboy lyrics below and embrace its wild energy.

Ladies And Gentlemen, Theys And Thems

[Refrain: Jade]
Midnight’s Here, And I’m Ready To Go
I’ma Saddle Him Up, Hold Him Down, I’ma Saddle Him Up
Fantasy, Leather Chaps On The Floor
I’ma Saddle Him Up, Hold Him Down, I’ma Saddle Him Up
[Pre-Chorus: Jade]
Mm, Baby, Yeah, I Been Bad
I’m A Real Wild Bitch, Yeah, I’m Mental
I’m The Ride Of Your Life, Not A Rental
I’m The Editor, Call Me Mr. Enninful
No Vanilla, Let’s Experimental
I’ma Show You The Ropes, Get You Whipped On ’em
And I Know You Needed Something You Could Sin For
I’m About To Perform Like I’m On Tour
Baby, Clap For The Encore

Giddy Up, It’s The Wild Wild West

Ayy, Better Buckle Up Now
Get A Little Nasty, Take You To The Old Town
Hey, Never Find A Lass Who
Show You What The Back Do, Givin’ You The Ginuwine
Neigh, Name A Better Duo, I’ll Wait
Nothin’ Wrong With A Little Horseplay
Put Me In Reverse Now
Bitch, I’m A Girl Cow, Watch Me While I Sit Down
[Refrain: Jade]
Midnight’s Here, And He’s Ready To Blow
I’ma Saddle Him Up, Hold Him Down, I’ma Saddle Him Up
Ecstasy, Ponytail, Grab A Hold
I’ma Saddle Him Up, Hold Him Down,
I’ma Saddle Him Up (Work, Work, Work, Work)
