Today, August 15th, 2025, 21-year-old Vietnamese-Canadian pop singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Jade LeMac solidifies her status as a next-generation icon with the release of her refreshing and infectious new single “Running Home,” fresh off its premiere at Lollapalooza 2025, accompanied by the major announcement of her highly anticipated EP, It’s Always At Night, set for release on November 7th via Warner Music Canada / East West Records. The track itself is a masterclass in confessional pop songwriting, built around an incredibly infectious hook and a soaring, melodic chorus that leaves listeners wanting more as Jade digs into the profoundly relatable and heartfelt feeling of security within a relationship, crafting a feel-good anthem about always finding your way back to the person you love. She explains the song’s core message: “”Running Home” is a song about reassuring the person you are in a relationship with that you will always choose them no matter how they might feel,” a sentiment that makes the track both emotionally resonant and irresistibly catchy.
This release is the latest triumph for an artist who has consistently transfixed global audiences and tastemakers alike with her unapologetic approach and unique perspective, a trajectory launched by her breakout hit “Constellations,” which landed syncs in the 2024 movie Sidelined: The QB and Me and in Netflix’s My Life with the Walter Boys and has since surpassed a staggering 325 million streams to date. Her upcoming EP, It’s Always At Night, will serve as a cohesive narrative project, bringing together four brand new songs alongside “Running Home” and the fan-favourite “Pink Balloon” to explore themes of being in love and finding yourself through it all, with Jade opening herself to listeners and empowering herself through her own vulnerability. On the EP’s concept, Jade elaborates: “‘It’s Always At Night’ is a story about a person who’s in love with love. There are songs for so many emotions — heartbreak, desire, love, and lust. Each song is its own story about the different ways I’ve felt while being in love with someone.”
This artistic revelation comes on the heels of a monumental year that has seen Jade hit major milestones with celebrated festival performances at both Osheaga and Lollapalooza—where she even joined ROLE MODEL onstage at his official afterparty—and now she is gearing up to join GRAMMY® Award-winning artist Maren Morris as the opener on her upcoming tour, solidifying her place as one of today’s most promising emerging voices. A rapidly rising star praised by outlets from LA Weekly and OnesToWatch to Rolling Stone and Wonderland Magazine, Jade was also recognized by GLAAD with a nomination for Outstanding Breakthrough Music Artist, a testament to her growing influence and impact. With over 450 million global streams and more than 1.6 million followers on TikTok—her largest platform for fan engagement, where her strongest audience base is in Southeast Asia with the Philippines ranking #1, followed by Thailand (#3), Indonesia (#6), and Vietnam (#8)—Jade LeMac is unapologetically embracing her identity as a Queer Vietnamese Canadian to build a loyal, ever-growing global fanbase and boldly redefine what modern pop stardom looks and sounds like. The ‘It’s Always at Night’ EP tracklisting includes: 1. Running Home, 2. Heaven’s Sake, 3. Sleeping with the Lights On, 4. Intertwined, and 5. Sweet Dream.
