JADE is turning her debut solo era into a full-on spectacle with THAT’S SHOWBIZ BABY! THE ENCORE, the deluxe edition landing December 5, 2025, and Church is the kind of raw, confessional closer that leaves you staring at the ceiling, wondering if pop can feel this much like a therapy session.
From those preview lines, “Church” is all fire and fervor, a electro-pop pulse that builds like a late-night ritual. Jade sings about mutual prayers twisted into something carnal—”pray for me like I’ma pray for you, whatever gets you off until your knees are bruised”—over throbbing bass and synths that echo like stained-glass echoes. That repeated chant of “I want to fuck it up” isn’t just bold; it’s Jade owning the chaos, flipping worship into a shared rebellion while the world outside crumbles. It’s got that dramatic flair she’s been honing, blending Little Mix-era hooks with a rawer, more liberated edge that feels like she’s finally preaching her own gospel.
This isn’t a random add-on; it’s track 15 on the expanded 21-song run of THAT’S SHOWBIZ BABY! THE ENCORE, Jade’s way of capping off the “grand finale” to her breakout year. The original dropped back in September to massive love—hitting number three on the UK charts with its glittery takes on fame, love, and self-sabotage—and now she’s padding it out with seven fresh cuts like the anthemic “This Is What We Dance For” and her stunning Madonna “Frozen” cover. The vibe stays theatrical pop with synth-pop nods to her noughties heroes, but these encores dig deeper into empowerment and letting go.
JADE’s been on fire since Little Mix paused in 2022—she dropped her breakout single in 2024, snagged Best Pop Act at the 2025 BRITs, and just wrapped the first leg of her headline tour with sold-out crowds chanting her name like it’s always been hers alone. This isn’t just evolution; it’s her claiming the whole damn stage, Geordie roots and all, proving she was holding back before.

Lyrics of Church by JADE
[Chorus]
Oh, Baby, Pray For Me Like I Would Pray For You
Whatever Gets You Off Until Your Knees Are Bruised
While The World Burns, Let Me See You Work
Down On Your Knees, Let Me Be Your Church
[Post-Chorus]
(I Want You To Fuck It Up)
[Verse 1]
When I Was A Baby Girl, That’s When I Saw The Queen
Nothing Like Elizabeth, More Like Destiny
Oh, She Looked Divine, Elegant And Free
She Bowed Down To My Level, Blew A Kiss And Said To Me (Said To Me)
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, It’s Hard Enough (It’s Hard Enough) To Be Alive (To Be Alive)
Might As Well (Might As Well) Dance Or Die (Dance Or Die)
Hell Was Close (Hell Was Close) But We Could Try (We Could Try)
‘Cause We Want One Hell Of A Good Time
[Chorus]
Oh, Baby, Pray For Me Like I’ma Pray For You
Whatever Gets You Off Until Your Knees Are Bruised
While The World Burns, Let Me See You Work
Down On Your Knees, Let Me Be Your Church
[Post-Chorus]
(I Want You To Fuck It Up)
(I Want You To Fuck It Up)
(I Want You To Fuck It Up)
(I Want You To Fuck It Up)
[Verse 2]
Now I’m Fully Blossomed, Got My Flowers, Live The Dream
Carrying The Wisdom That Was Passed Down Onto Me
If You Need Advice Or You Don’t Believe
Get Onto My Level, Listen Up, I’ll Set You Free (Set You Free)
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, It’s Hard Enough (It’s Hard Enough) To Be Alive (To Be Alive)
Might As Well (Might As Well) Dance Or Die (Dance Or Die)
Hell Was Close (Hell Was Close) But We Could Try (We Could Try)
’cause We Want One Hell Of A Good Time
[Chorus]
Oh, Baby, Pray For Me Like I’ma Pray For You
Whatever Gets You Off Until Your Knees Are Bruised
While The World Burns, Let Me See You Work
Down On Your Knees, Let Me Be Your Church
Baby, Stay A While Until We See The Light
Let’s Get Wet And Wild Till Our Tears Are Dry
While The World Burns, Let Me See You Work
Down On Your Knees, Let Me Be Your Church
(Church, Church, Church, Church)
[Post-Chorus]
(I Want You To Fuck It Up)
(I Want You To Fuck It Up)
(I Want You To Fuck It Up)
(I Want You To Fuck It Up)
[Bridge]
All The Sinners In The Place, Show Me Love, Give Me Faith
Girls, Dolls, Party Boys, Rise Above The Dirty Noise
If You’re All Out Of Sugar Then I’m The Sweetest Taste
Take This Holy Water And Wash That Pretty Face
Girls, Dolls, Party Boys, Rise Above The Dirty Noise
From The Ghetto To The Stars, Everywhere You Are
Now Let Me See You Work, Work, Work, Work
Let Me Be Your Church, Church, Church, Church
[Chorus]
Oh, Baby, Pray For Me Like I’ma Pray For You (Oh-oh)
Whatever Gets You Off Until Your Knees Are Bruised
While The World Burns, Let Me See You Work
Down On Your Knees, Let Me Be Your Church
Baby, Stay A While Until We See The Light (Stay)
Let’s Get Wet And Wild Till Our Tears Are Dry
While The World Burns, Let Me See You Work
Down On Your Knees, Let Me Be Your Church
