Jorja Smith Releases New Single “What’s Done Is Done” and Opens a New Chapter

Jorja Smith, one of the leading voices in the UK R&B scene, has released her new single “What’s Done Is Done.” The distinctive British singer marks the beginning of a new era with the track. A music video directed by her longtime collaborator KC Locke, known for work with Little Mix and Jonas Blue, has also been released. “What’s Done Is Done” reveals Jorja at her most direct and self-assured. Created with acclaimed London producer P2J, who has worked with Beyoncé and Stormzy, the song blends delicate percussion, moody electronic textures, and rich, soulful vocals. It explores the conflict around hurt, acceptance, and hard-won resolve with striking clarity and restraint. Built around a sense of closure, release, and self-affirmation, “What’s Done Is Done” carries the emotional honesty that has long defined Jorja’s songwriting while pointing toward a new sonic direction: understated, confident, and powerful. The song delivers a message about drawing a line, reclaiming power, and accepting that things cannot return to how they were. Directed by KC Locke, the music video captures Jorja’s nightlife with friends, moving through rave scenes, block parties, quiet rooftop moments, and solitary travel sequences. It has an unmistakable realism and intimacy, showing her in the crowd, surrendering to the moment while reflecting on love and heartbreak, alongside the emotional release and escapism embedded in the song. The video features Jorja’s friends, family, and collaborators from across the UK, including AJ Tracey, Knucks, Novelist, Nadia Rose, Wodey, Specs Gonzalez, Remi Burgz, Manchester dance collective Trend Kids, and the Blue Lights Choir. It reflects the community and relationships that have always been central to her career, creating a sense of intimacy, celebration, and shared history. The new single also marks a milestone year in her career. This year marks the 10th anniversary of “Blue Lights,” the single that introduced her singular voice to the world and helped establish her as one of the most influential figures in British music. But with “What’s Done Is Done,” Jorja is not looking back; she is looking forward. The track preserves the emotional depth and sharp songwriting that have defined her work since her debut while opening a new creative chapter. The release follows several major moments in 2026, including her appearance on the first season of Saturday Night Live UK in the spring, her contribution of “Price Of It All” to the soundtrack for the Prime Video series Bait starring Riz Ahmed, and the announcement that she will co-headline All Points East with Tems at London’s Victoria Park on Friday, August 21.
