June Jones has released a frothy new single called ‘Bubblegum’, the follow-up to July’s spiky pop track ‘Good Girl‘. It’s the second single Jones – now Sydney-based after many years in Naarm/Melbourne – has released via her new label Chapter Music, having inked a deal with them in July.
Jones has christened the new tracks her “desire era”. “’Bubblegum’ was the first song I wrote after moving to Sydney in March,” Jones says about the song. “Maybe the least emotionally heavy song I’ve put out, it’s the second release in a series that I am (possibly prematurely) calling my Desire Era.”

“This year, I have been finding a lot of potential for expression in the horny and romantic worlds of pop and dance music,” Jones continued. “I’ve been going out dancing a lot more both here in Sydney and when I was in London in August, and finding a sense of peace amongst the sweaty bodies of the girls and the gays.”
Jones’ last full-length record was 2022’s Pop Music For Normal Women, which followed the acclaimed Leafcutter, which arrived in 2021.
‘Good Girl’ announced Jones’ signing to Chapter in July. “I was listening to a lot of Charli XCX when I was making Good Girl,” Jones said at the time. “And I think my love for her music is what allowed me to write a chorus like this one, which leans into the part of me that does kinda just wanna be this hot femme object of queer desire.”
