English singer-songwriter Jade Thirlwall released her debut solo album, titled That's Showbiz Baby!, on September 12, 2025, by RCA Records.
She is a member of the band Little Mix, which was formed on The X Factor in 2011. The other members of the group include Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock. After the group went on a hiatus in 2022, Jade embarked on her solo career, managed by Kevin Beisler and Sarah Montgomery.
However, Little Mix assured its fans that the group is not splitting up but will be back soon with “music, tours and performances.” That's Showbiz Baby! features chaotic dance pops. Speaking about her album, the singer told The Fader:
“This album is me owning my truth, good and bad. There's always a level of tongue-in-cheekness because that is my personality and that's who I am as an artist. I don’t want to be an overly serious solo artist. And I do sort of laugh at my trauma.”
After working for three years, Thirlwall is back with a band.
