Rising artist Jaya Kellogg just dropped her infectious debut single, “Background Noise”, and it’s already proving she’s the kind of voice that lingers long after the music stops. The track is uptempo, a little dancey, and channels early Dua Lipa energy while carving out a style that’s entirely her own. Built on pulsing beats and sleek synth layers, “Background Noise” blends late-night yearning with a confident, hook-heavy chorus: “I can hear my voice, in the back of your mind, I’m your background noise, I’m your sweetest crime.” It’s the kind of pop earworm that makes you want to roll down the car windows and scream-sing the lines: “I can see my name on the tip of your tongue, I can’t say the same, why does it feel so wrong?”
With a debut this strong, it’s easy to picture “Background Noise” sliding into Spotify playlists like Pop Rising, Fresh Finds: Pop, Dance Pop Hits, Indie Pop & Chill, It’s a Bop, and Young & Free. It’s a track that feels equally at home on late-night drives, Friday night pre-games, or solo bedroom dance sessions.
If you’re wondering who Jaya should share a stage with, imagine her on tour with names like Tate McRae, Mimi Webb, Fletcher, RAYE, Chappell Roan, Reneé Rapp, or Gracie Abrams — artists who, like Jaya, know how to fuse emotion and energy into something magnetic. Whether she’s headlining her own neon-lit club show or opening for pop’s next big name, Jaya Kellogg’s debut single proves she’s not just part of the soundtrack — she is the background noise you can’t stop humming.
