JACK GRAY RELEASES NEW SINGLE & VIDEO ‘TATTOOS’
CURRENTLY TOURING WITH MAREN MORRIS AU/NZ + JOINING GOOD NEIGHBOURS ON THEIR UK TOUR LATER THIS MONTH
‘TATTOOS’ IS CO-WRITTEN WITH PEACH PRC
Jack Gray is on a roll. Currently on tour with US artist Maren Morris, the Australian singer, songwriter offers another glipse of his forthcoming debut album with the release of his new single ‘Tattoos’ via Island Australia / Mercury Records.
Already a fan-favourite at the current Maren Morris tour, ‘Tattoos’ was co written with global pop sensation Peach PRC. Arriving at their session both nervous and creatively blocked, the duo did what any sensible musicians would do – ditched the studio and got matching tattoos – their shared love of The 1975 permanently inked. Returning later that night, they channelled the chaos into a song inspired by the experience itself.
Jack Gray shares, “Doing your first writing session with someone you’ve just met doesn’t always go well and is generally pretty awkward. But Peach and I clicked right away and had a great time making this song. She is an incredible writer – while I was working on the beat, she wrote the pre-chorus in like 3 seconds and it turned out to be my favourite part of the song.”
As an ode to the UK band, ‘Tattoos’ is packed with subtle easter eggs, driven by a wiry new wave bassline and rowdy sing-along chorus that cements the song as one of Jack’s most immediate and energized releases to date.
A true multi-instrumentalist Jack Gray performs all the instruments on ‘Tattoos’ – bass, guitar, synths and piano – as well as producing the single himself.
An avid film buff, the Mackay native frequently draws inspiration from the big screen. For the accompanying ‘Tattoos’ official video, Jack Gray enlists director Maddy King (ONE FOUR, Moza, Yuma X) and Cameron March (Midnight Oil), to create a movie-style clip. Featuring Jack and American-Argentine actress Galilea La Salvia (Goosebumps, The Rookie, Matlock) the video, shot in various locations across Las Vegas, captures the dizzy impulsive energy of the night that ‘Tattoos’ was inked.
Jack Gray kicked off the year touring with UK indie-rock duo, Good Neighbours on their Australian Tour and following that run, the band asked Jack to join them again later this month for a number of their UK dates.
‘Tattoos’, marks Jack Gray’s first single for 2026, following previously released singles ‘Bluffin’, ‘Drive Her Home’ and debut single ‘Dumb Sh*t’. Together the singles have garnered over 1 million global streams contributing to move than 40 million streams across his growing discography.
2025 was a massive year for Jack, along with releasing new music, he supported Jeremy Zucker and Daniel Seavey on their Australian and New Zealand Tours, collaborated with Pinterest for a special one off intimate fan event and was invited to be part of the highly respected VEVO DSCVR New Music Program. Currently on the road supporting Maren Morris with the final show tonight at the Town Hall in Christchurch, Jack returns to London next week to begin touring with Good Neighbours.
