Tequila Time

So like, if you made it this far, thanks for listenin' all the way through

I feel like you deserve a goodie bag or a medal, so drop me a DM

And if you're at a barbecue or some other social gathering

And you left your preferred streaming service running through by accident

Sorry, but there's gonna be a bit of talking

But at least it's a fire beat in the background, so please hear me out, yeah?

See my name Jax Jones come from a UK slang

On your Jax Jones, needing to do something on your own

And here we are at the end of my first album, and boy, mum was wrong

See, so many people came together to make these musical snacks

And I wanna thank 'em

First up, my influences, shout out Pharrell, Timothy Mosby

Thomas VanGogh Ter, Guy-Manuel, Kanye

Armand, Mark Kinchin, Dizzee, Hot Natured, and Booka Shade

Your bassline changed everything, guys

I was still doing gigs for a couple hundred pounds

Driving up and down with my wife just tryna pay the rent

And it's a journey, and that leads me on to the songwriters

And producers and artists I've collaborated with

RAYE, Jin Jin, The Dream Team, Mike Dunn

Jamie, Martin Solveig, Becky Hill, Emenike, Camille, South London's finest

Mabel, Ina, Brett, Olly, Demi, Stefflon, Bebe, Jess

Tove, Madison, Will, Fred, Tieks, Boy Matthews, Steve Mac

Wow, special mention to the MVP, Mark Ralph. It's tequlia time, bro, 'rriba!

Lucian, thanks for always believing in me and helping me perfect the beat

Adam Diamond, if it wasn't for you

I wouldn't know what I know, so thank you, bro

I still think fondly about the music we made together

My whole team and the label, man like Jamie Spiggs who took a chance on us

Dan, thanks for always dreaming big

To my family, to my wife, you're the reason we made it, babe

I'm thankful music has changed our life, but it wasn't always easy

When people ask me what does this album mean to me

It's for everyone that didn't believe

That guy that said I couldn't produce, well that ain't true

That guy that said I'll never finish a record on my own, that ain't true

I proved them wrong

So when you listen to this album

Feel that positive energy in every beat, every vocal

I know no matter how far you are away from your dreams

You can get there, fam, peace

What you, what you gon' do?
