Jax Jones is reconnecting with the deeper club sounds that first shaped his musical identity on his latest single, ‘Pulling Me Back’ – a new collaboration with one of dance music’s most in-demand voices, Clementine Douglas.
Released today, the track finds the British producer stepping away from the pop-leaning end of his catalog and leaning into a more emotionally driven club record, pairing soaring vocals with a euphoric, late-night energy. Co-written by Jones and Douglas, ‘Pulling Me Back’ balances dancefloor momentum with the kind of songwriting craftsmanship that has become a defining characteristic of both artists.
Clementine has emerged as one of the most sought-after songwriters and vocalists in electronic music in recent years, lending her voice to records from artists including MK and Calvin Harris. On ‘Pulling Me Back’, her performance sits at the heart of the track, delivering a sense of longing and release that elevates the record beyond peak-time club fare.
To mark the launch of the single, Jones partnered with Twitch for an unconventional livestream event from London venue XOYO. Broadcasting globally, the producer completed a two-hour treadmill run while simultaneously performing a live DJ set, combining endurance challenge and club culture spectacle in equal measure.
The release arrives during a particularly active period for Jones. Fresh from a recent Boiler Room appearance, the producer is preparing for a string of high-profile summer performances, including sets at Silverstone Formula 1 and Ibiza mainstay Pacha.
Over the past decade, the ‘OUT OUT’ hitmaker has established himself as one of the most commercially successful figures in British dance music. His catalog includes eight UK Top 10 singles, more than 60 million records sold worldwide and over nine billion streams globally, helping define the sound of mainstream dance music throughout the streaming era.
Yet despite his crossover success, Jones has consistently maintained a connection to club culture. Alongside collaborations with artists including RAYE, MNEK, Demi Lovato and Charli XCX, he has continued to champion emerging talent through his WUGD imprint, positioning himself as both a chart-focused hitmaker and a curator of new dance music voices.
That balance between commercial appeal and underground credibility has become a hallmark of Jones’ career. While his biggest records have dominated radio and festival stages, ‘Pulling Me Back’ serves as a reminder of the club foundations that continue to inform his work.
As summer club and festival season gathers pace, the single signals a renewed focus on the dancefloor from an artist whose influence on modern UK electronic music remains difficult to ignore.
‘Pulling Me Back’ is available now via all major streaming platforms.
