Jessie Ware is back, and she’s not easing in quietly. With the release of her new single “I Could Get Used To This,” the British pop artist signals the start of a fresh era, one rooted in theatrical romance, emotional confidence and unapologetic pleasure. The track arrived Friday via Interscope Records, setting the tone for what Ware describes as a carefully imagined world rather than a one-off release.
Coming off the critical and commercial success of That! Feels Good!, Ware isn’t chasing momentum so much as refining it. Where her last album leaned into dance-floor abandon, this new chapter feels more ceremonial, expanding her pop vocabulary without abandoning the elements that made her recent run resonate so deeply.
A Song Built for the Spotlight
“I Could Get Used To This” unfolds with sweeping strings and a sense of slow, deliberate release. The production favors scale over clutter, allowing Ware’s voice to remain the emotional anchor. Her delivery is measured and assured, projecting control rather than urgency.
The track nods to the lineage of classic diva pop, think the elegance of Barbra Streisand or the commanding presence of Whitney Houston, without slipping into nostalgia. Those references live in the atmosphere, not the arrangement, giving the song a timeless feel that still sounds firmly grounded in the present.
Rather than chasing trends, Ware leans into clarity. The result is a song that feels built for a grand entrance, not a fleeting moment.
A Visual Steeped in Myth and Theater
Released alongside the single, the music video, directed by Fa & Fon, extends the song’s sense of ritual. Drawing inspiration from the Roman goddess Juno, the visual frames Ware within a world shaped by symbolism, performance and power.
Stage language plays a central role, with the video leaning into gesture, costume and ceremony rather than narrative literalism. It’s less about telling a story and more about establishing presence, positioning Ware as both performer and figurehead.
Building the Album’s World
In a statement accompanying the release, Ware described the song as an entry point into the album she’s currently shaping. She pointed to themes of romance, love and celebration, all unfolding within a garden populated by gods and goddesses.
The track was written alongside Miranda Cooper, Sophia Brenan and Jon Shave, collaborators Ware credits as foundational to British pop songwriting. She also noted that the song features her first-ever key change, a small but telling detail that signals a willingness to push beyond familiar structures.
An Evolution, Not a Reinvention
Ware’s ability to move between genres has long been part of her appeal, but this single sharpens that versatility into focus. “I Could Get Used To This” presents confidence without bravado, sensuality without excess. It feels earned, not performative.
The release follows That! Feels Good!, Ware’s fifth studio album, which debuted at No. 3 on the UK Albums Chart and marked her strongest U.S. sales performance to date. Praised by outlets including The Guardian, Pitchfork and Rolling Stone, the album solidified her place as a defining voice in modern pop.
High-profile live appearances, from Glastonbury to Primavera, further cemented that standing. This new single doesn’t abandon that trajectory; it refines it, adding intention and scale.
“I Could Get Used To This” finds Jessie Ware fully in command, opening the doors to a world she’s clearly ready to invite listeners into.
