Jess Bays ‘Go Back’: The New Single Defining the 2026 House Scene

From Ibiza to the Airwaves: Why Jess Bays’ New Single ‘Go Back’ is This Year’s Essential Anthem

There’s a specific kind of energy that Jess Bays brings to a room. Whether you’ve caught her sunset set in Ibiza or heard her voice crackling through your car speakers on Capital Dance, you know the vibe: it’s warm, it’s soulful, and it’s impossible not to move to.

Her latest single, “Go Back,” is the perfect distillation of that energy. It’s a record that feels like a bridge between the dark, sweaty corners of a warehouse and the bright, infectious hooks of a summer pop hit.

The Architect of the “New” Deep House

If you feel like you’ve been hearing Jess’s signature production everywhere lately, you aren’t imagining it. She’s become the go-to producer for labels like Defected, Sony, and Warner, all while building her own empire at Good Company.

While many fans know her for the Brit-Certified Silver classic “Temptation,” Jess isn’t one to rest on her laurels. She has a rare gift for taking “deeper” house music—the kind that usually stays underground—and making it feel accessible to a whole new generation of listeners. It’s why she’s been tapped for remix duties by heavyweights like Becky Hill, Rudimental, and Jax Jones.

A Global Force (With Local Roots)

Jess Bays’ tour schedule looks more like a flight manifest than a calendar. From Brazil to LA and Australia back to London, she’s been lighting up the world’s most iconic stages. We’re talking:

• The Festivals: Parklife, Reading & Leeds, and We Are FSTVL.

• The Institutions: Ministry of Sound, Warehouse Project, and the late, great Printworks.

But what truly sets Jess apart is her personality. As a broadcaster on Rinse FM and Capital Dance, she’s become a trusted voice for dance music fans. She isn’t just playing the hits; she’s living them. That authenticity is exactly why DJ Mag flagged her as “One to Watch”—a prediction that has aged very, very well.

Why ‘Go Back’ Hits Different

“Go Back” isn’t just another club track. It’s a showcase of Jess’s evolution. It’s polished enough for the radio but has enough grit to work a festival crowd at 2:00 AM.

In an industry that can sometimes feel manufactured, Jess Bays feels like the real deal. She’s a student of the craft, constantly pushing her own boundaries and proving that you don’t have to choose between underground credibility and pop success.

The verdict? Jess Bays is a powerhouse on a vertical trajectory. If “Go Back” is a sign of what’s to come from the rest of her 2026 releases, we’re in for a very good year.
