Songfacts®:

  • Jack U is a collaborative project of DJ/producers Diplo and Skrillex. This is their first single, which was recorded in an Ibiza hotel room with "Hideaway" singer-songwriter Kiesza. "It was the most spontaneous thing ever!" Kiesza laughed to MTV News. "We went for sushi and [Diplo and Skrillex] were like, 'Let's try something.' We went to Skrillex's hotel room and he had a whole setup already and we just made that song in the hotel room."
