Rose Gray releases two-track EP with ‘Just Be Bodies’ External Inbox
Rose Gray returns today with exhilarating new track ‘Just Be Bodies’, released as part of a two-track EP with recent single ‘Club To Your Arms’ via Polydor Records.
Opening with an acapella vocal before exploding into an irresistible dancebeat, ‘Just Be Bodies’ arrives alongside a visualiser shot in San Francisco, watch HERE. If ‘Club To Your Arms’ was the night out, ‘Just Be Bodies’ is the morning after – a more vulnerable, reflective turn that first surfaced live, debuted to fans across Rose’s recent UK/EU/US tour.
Speaking on it, Rose shares:
“just be bodies is like the sister to club to your arms. I love this song so so much! it makes me feel a million things. it felt right for this new era to put them out together so you can enjoy them as a lil piece of art and the beginning of this new chapter. it’s also about getting into my later 20’s and realising that life, love and friendships are only getting better.”
Together the two songs give the fullest picture yet of where Rose is heading next — after a whirlwind summer that’s seen her shut down the Levi’s stage at Primavera Sound, complete her second sold-out North American tour, play her biggest headline show to date at a sold-out KOKO in London and collaborate with Demi Lovato on summer banger ‘Joshua Tree’, Rose is at the top of her game and this EP is just a taste of what’s the come. The fun continues over the coming months with performances at All Points East supporting Lorde, alongside a string of other festival appearances at Leeds, Boomtown and Benicassim. Full itinerary below.
Speaking previously on ‘Club To Your Arms’, a euphoric banger that captures the anticipation of rushing home to your lover after a big night out, she shared: “I feel like I’ve been waiting most of my career to write this song. I’m so ready for new music. I remember coming home after a show in London. I’d been out way too late, the birds were kinda singing and I’d lost my keys. I’ve lived nights like this over and over again, anticipating getting home into someone’s arms. I’m so ready for summer”
In October last year Rose released A Little Louder, Please – the deluxe edition of her debut album Louder, Please (January 2025). Leading the charge was ‘I Don’t Speak French’ which came accompanied by a Camille Summers Valli-directed video (HAIM, METTE, BADBADNOTGOOD, Låpsley) and stars Lucas Bravo (Emily In Paris) as Rose’s late night escapade.
The deluxe album arrived with two more brand-new tracks (‘April’ and ‘Lotus’), plus an additional disc of remixes with features from JADE, Melanie C, Shygirl and Casey MQ, string versions and club edits from some of dance music’s most exciting names including Logic1000, Peach, Clementaum and Alex Chapman. Forerunning singles ‘April’ and ‘Lotus’ expanded on Rose’s euphoric debut era – shimmering, hedonistic snapshots of the club culture that has shaped her. Both tracks were teased across a whirlwind summer of live shows, from US dates with Kesha and Scissor Sisters to festival sets at Mighty Hoopla, LIDO and beyond, where they quickly became word-of-mouth favourites.
Born on New Year’s Eve and raised in Walthamstow, Rose has lived her life through club music – from cloakroom shifts to dancefloor epiphanies – a spirit that infuses her art with hedonism, honesty and heart. Releasing her long-awaited debut album Louder, Please in January 2025 via Play It Again Sam – the record was introduced by a confident run of singles including the exhilarating ‘Party People’, ‘Free’, ‘Angel Of Satisfaction’, ‘Switch’ and ‘Wet & Wild’. Across the album, Rose channels the chaos, catharsis and clarity of the dancefloor into a kaleidoscopic vision that fuses classic pop with rave sensibilities. Praised for its breadth of collaborators – spanning Justin Tranter (Lady Gaga, Chappell Roan) and Zhone (Troye Sivan) to underground electronic innovators Sega Bodega, Uffie and Alex Metric – Louder, Please cemented Rose as one of the UK’s most exciting new voices. Alongside the record, Rose collaborated with Ben Hemsley (‘Tidal’), Megra (‘Elixir’) and TSHA (‘Girls’), performed at Glastonbury with Shygirl, launched her own club night (Gray Selects), recorded a BBC Maida Vale session, played her first ever headline UK tour, bagged a win as MTV’s Push Artist of 2025 and supported Charli xcx at LIDO festival in London. Now signed with Polydor records, Rose is paving the way for yet another blockbuster year, and this is just the beginning.
