"Said It All (Jax Jones Rework)" is a reinterpretation of the original song by English pop group Take That featuring the band, Jax Jones, and Leony. It was released on 2 January 2026 as anticipation for their upcoming tour, The Circus Live – Summer 2026.[15]
Background
The idea first came to light in late 2023 after Jax Jones and Gary Barlow met and discussed a collaboration. The finished work features a duet between Barlow and German singer Leony with instrumentation and production used to bring out a euphoric sound whilst retaining the melancholic grand feel of the original.[16]
