JADE is feeling “overwhelmed” and “overjoyed” after the success of Angel of My Dreams.
The 33-year-old pop star, whose full name is Jade Thirlwall, has responded after her 2024 hit went viral on TikTok after being featured in the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on October 18, when the tune soundtracked Kylie Jenner’s walk down the runway in VS’ $50 million Fantasy Bra.
Responding to the reaction, JADE told PEOPLE magazine: “I’m feeling overwhelmed, overstimulated, overjoyed and over the moon. Never over it, though.”
The former Little Mix star first dropped the song as the lead single for her debut solo album That’s Showbiz, Baby!
She has described approving the request from Victoria’s Secret to use the song this year as a “fleeting moment” which she didn’t focus too much on.
Although she didn’t tune into the fashion show live because she “probably did something really boring, like an early night”, JADE was blown away by the reaction overnight.
She said: “It’s been such a whirlwind of a week, and I’m still sort of getting my head around it.”
Naturally, her record label is “so excited” by the song’s success two years on.
She added: “We were all joking in our label chat that we’ve prayed for times like these and the memes of The Office when they’re all scrambling to jump on it.”
JADE joked that Angel of My Dreams was “a worldwide phenomenon of a pop song” from the beginning, while she’s delighted to see it get “its second wind”.
Meanwhile, she was curious “which gay man is behind this happening”, which ended up being Victoria’s Secret chief creative officer Adam Selman.
He got in touch on social media to reveal he picked the, and he’s a “genuine fan”.
JADE added: “It feels even better that the person that chose it actually loved the song from its release.
“It wasn’t just someone typing in ‘angel songs’ on Spotify and seeing what lands.”
Meanwhile, JADE has promised her second solo album will be “brave and bold”.
Speaking to NME, she said: “I can’t say too much without giving it away, but it’s just very honest again about my experiences this year, whatever I’ve been going through and still brave, bold and a bit of pop punch to the face.”
JADE explained that she’s been “busy writing” with producer and collaborator Mike Sabbath over the summer.
She teased: “We’ve been doing a lot over the summer in between the little breaks and the festival run.
“I’ve been getting in the studio with him, writing what we can, and I’m going to LA in a couple of weeks to start solidifying what this is going to sound like.
“It’s still kind of early stages, but I love the writing process and it’s even better to do it with mates and people who you feel really comfortable with.”
