B Jones Finds Strength in Motion With Uplifting New Single "Glow Up"

Sometimes a song means one thing when you write it and something entirely different by the time it's released. For Spanish dance music force B Jones, "Glow Up"—her new single out now via Dutch powerhouse Black Hole Recordings—has become both a stylistic evolution and an unexpectedly personal declaration of resilience. Written back in 2025 while she was already dealing with intense back pain, the track has since taken on deeper meaning following her recent hospitalization and subsequent lymphoma diagnosis after a spinal cord tumor biopsy. But rather than dwelling on the darkness, "Glow Up" does exactly what its title suggests: it rises.

Musically, this is B Jones pushing her sound into new territory. The track leans harder into trance influences than we've heard from her before—faster tempo, wider-open melodies, and a driving pulse built for those peak-time moments when the entire crowd lifts off together. It echoes the high-intensity energy she's become synonymous with during her Tomorrowland Mainstage performances in recent years, but there's something more focused here, more intentional. It's not just about the drop; it's about the journey toward it, the build, the moment when everything clicks into place and you realize you're capable of more than you thought.

Lyrically, "Glow Up" captures the idea of finding inner power when life gets heavy—and for B Jones, that message has become impossibly real. She was already in pain when she wrote this song, already pushing through discomfort while continuing to perform and tour. That context makes the track's uplifting energy feel less like escapism and more like defiance. It's a reminder that strength isn't always about powering through unscathed; sometimes it's about choosing to keep moving even when everything hurts.

"'Glow Up' is more than a song to me," B Jones shares. "It represents an inner strength that emerges in difficult moments and, at the same time, the process of rebirth through them. Like everybody now knows, the last period has been very hard for me. I was in a lot of pain. But even in these dark moments, making music always gave me strength, and writing lyrics means speaking directly from my soul, sharing my true emotions openly with the world. This track was written from the understanding that facing challenges with courage can become a source of light. What may feel like the end is often the beginning of something deeper and more meaningful."

There's a rawness to those words that cuts through the usual artist-statement platitudes. This isn't promotional copy; it's someone processing trauma through the only language that makes sense to them. And in an industry that often demands constant productivity and performative positivity, there's something quietly radical about B Jones using her platform to acknowledge pain while still offering hope—not as a manufactured narrative, but as lived experience.

"I hope this song helps others reconnect with their own strength, to remember that no matter which difficulties or challenges you are facing, there is a powerful energy within you that can make you realize and overcome the impossible," she continues. "We all have the ability to rise, to transform, and to bring out the best in ourselves - because the best version of us is simply who we truly are."

"Glow Up" arrives as both a stylistic milestone and a statement of intent. For B Jones, it's proof that even in the hardest seasons—when your body betrays you, when the future feels uncertain—you can still create, still transform, still find moments of transcendence on the dancefloor. The track doesn't pretend everything is fine; instead, it suggests that maybe the point isn't to wait until you're healed to keep moving. Maybe the movement itself is part of the healing. And in a scene that often prioritizes spectacle over substance, that kind of honesty feels like its own kind of glow up.
