Described by Jade as ‘Donna Summer meets MGMT’, “Unconditional” was first teased in her Rolling Stone UK interview in November 2024, inspired by her mother, Norma Thirlwall, who battles lupus and other illnesses.
All my life I’ve had the frustration of not being the one who can help her or save her...
[Verse 1]
Take a seat, this is your intervention
You're killing me with all your self-neglection
If I lose you now, then I lose it all
If you let me down, don't know who l'd call
[Pre-Chorus]
You got me kickin', shakin' and screamin' for ya
But nothin' you could do would make me leave
[Chorus]
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Unconditional
I will hold your hand forever
Even if my heart explodes
Unconditional
I can't put you back together
But I'll always love you so
[Verse 2]
If only my love could be your medication
I could fix you so much better than your own prescription
If I lose you now, then I lose it all
If you're going down, I can take the fall
[Chorus]
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Unconditional
I will hold your hand forever
Even if my heart explodes
Unconditional
I can't put you back together
But I'll always love you so
[Bridge]
Unconditional
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I'll always love you so (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Unconditional
I will hold your hand forever
Even if my heart explodes
Unconditional
I can't put you back together
But I'll always love you so

This song is the last song I wrote, actually, for the record. I did it with Mike Sabbath and Pablo Blowman and it’s a song about my mum and growing up with her lupus all my life and her being in the hospital and it’s a song about wishing I could fix someone with my love but instead of being too drea...
