"Unconditional" is a song recorded by English singer and songwriter Jade for her debut solo studio album That's Showbiz Baby (2025). The song was initially surprise released on 10 September 2025, shortly ahead of the album's release. It was serviced to Italian radio by Sony Music Italy on 3 October 2025, as the album's fifth single. Jade worked with Mike Sabath and Pablo Bowman on the song, whom she had previously worked with on other singles from the album, including "Angel of My Dreams" and "Fantasy".
The song received positive reviews from music critics, who praised its '80s disco pop sound, and compared it to works by Depeche Mode, the Pet Shop Boys [4] and Donna Summer. [3] Commercially, the song peaked at number 51 on the UK Singles Chart and number 36 on the New Zealand Hot Singles chart.
On 10 September 2025, Jade announced the release of "Unconditional" on her social media, shortly before the release of That's Showbiz Baby, describing it as "portraying the turmoil and pain when someone you love is suffering". In the same post, she also revealed that the track would be accompanied by a visualiser directed by Fa Fon, which she described as depicting times she has been "given terrible news and just had to get on with the show, or sacrificed valuable time with family for [the music] industry". [5]
"Unconditional" is a dance-pop song, with elements of disco and synth-pop, and was written by Thirlwall, Mike Sabath and Pablo Bowman. In an interview with Capital UK, Thirlwall described the lyrical content of the track as being "a love letter to [her] mum", who has lupus, which she wrote while "[her] mum was in hospital", and that the song is "obviously sad but it's still got a disco element to it". [6] In the same interview, she further described the song as being about "wishing I could just fix her with my unconditional love", and that during the writing process of the song she was "literally in and out of the room on the phone to [her] brother in the hospital". [6]
Jade performed the song for the first time on her That's Showbiz Baby: the Tour, as the fourth song on the set list, starting with the tour's first stop in Dublin, Ireland, on 7 October 2025. [7]
