Jade Thirlwall is finally stepping into her solo spotlight — and trust us, it was worth the wait. Her debut album That’s Showbiz Baby! (once teased as Plastic Box) is a bold, cheeky, theatrical dive into who she is outside of Little Mix — and spoiler alert: she’s a pop star in her own right.
Set to drop September 12, 2025, under RCA, the album is already making waves with a string of genre-bending singles, viral visuals, and a no-skip tracklist. From synth-pop bangers to disco flirtations and lyrical shade, That’s Showbiz Baby! is giving us glam, guts, and growth.
🎶 The Full Tracklist:
-
Angel of My Dreams
-
Midnight Cowboy

💿 Track-by-Track Review
1. Angel of My Dreams
The debut single that started it all. A dreamy 80s pop moment with a synthy chorus and just the right amount of drama. Critics loved it. Rolling Stone UK called it “a bold, unrepentant start,” while Billboard named it one of 2024’s best.
2. Midnight Cowboy
Weird in the best way. This experimental pop track has a sultry edge and features a surprise spoken word cameo from Ncuti Gatwa (yes, the Doctor Who king himself). Written with RAYE, this one oozes confidence, self-possession, and late-night energy.
3. Fantasy
Disco, darling! Think Diana Ross meets Donna Summer with a naughty wink. The music video is all glitter and glam with a splash of horror – literally referencing Carrie. It’s sexy, playful, and unapologetically femme.
4. It Girl
Not much has been revealed about this track yet, but based on the title alone, we’re expecting fashion, sass, and a few lyrical middle fingers. A teaser hinted at a bratz-meets-Mean-Girls vibe, and we’re here for it.
5. FUFN (Fuck You For Now)
The title says it all — breakup rage but with a sense of power. Released in March 2025, this track is expected to be raw, fierce, and deeply relatable for anyone who’s ever had to walk away while still wanting to look back.
6. Plastic Box
Her latest release and already a fan favorite. A glittery synth-pop dance track that explores jealousy, insecurity, and that toxic feeling we’ve all experienced in love. The production is bouncy and bright, but the lyrics cut deep — “happy-sad” in the best way. And the “ONE HIT WONDER” tee in the video? Iconic.
🗣 What Everyone’s Saying
Fans on Reddit and X (formerly Twitter) are calling Plastic Box “certified bop #6” and praising JADE for serving no skips so far. Critics are loving the layered storytelling, emotional openness, and clever pop writing. Even her collaborators are gushing — songwriter Lauren Aquilina said “Plastic Box” is one of her favorite things she’s ever written.
🎭 JADE Is In Her Main Pop Girl Era
That’s Showbiz Baby! isn’t just a debut album — it’s a full pop persona. JADE is theatrical, self-aware, a little ironic, and totally committed. Whether she’s channeling disco queens or dancing in a plastic jumpsuit, one thing is clear: she’s no longer just the girl from Little Mix — she’s the main event.
💅 Final Thoughts
This album feels like JADE’s love letter to pop, heartbreak, and performance. With That’s Showbiz Baby!, she’s not playing it safe — she’s owning the stage. Prepare for an album that’s part confessional, part party, and all JADE.
