Background and release

Following the release of the Sugababes' song "When the Rain Comes" in September 2023, speculation began as to when the group would release further music. [1] They went on to release remixed versions of their singles "Push the Button" and Round Round" with Joy Anonymous and Two Shell respectively, titled "Joy (Push the Button)" (2023) and "Round" (2024). [2] [3] In May 2024, the group said their upcoming ninth studio album was in its "finishing stages". [4] They subsequently went on to release a collaborative single "Situation" alongside A Little Sound in August 2024, which interpolates the chorus from the group's debut 2000 single "Overload" and features updated lyrics. [5]

In March 2025, while attending the 2025 Brit Awards, Siobhán Donaghy stated the group would be releasing new music "sooner than [people] might think". [6] The following week on 7 March, Sugababes announced the single on social media. [7] The group are set to perform the song for the first time during Comic Relief on 21 March 2025, alongside a medley of their other songs. [8] Released independently, distribution for the single is handled by the Orchard. [9] [10] Musically, the song incorporates elements of 2-step, garage and alternative pop, and was described by the group as "a song about escaping the 9-5 grind". [11]

An accompanying music video for "Jungle" was directed by Dora Paphides and released alongside the single on 13 March. [12]
