Jack Ü performed at Ultra Music Festival Miami in 2014. They released their first official single "Take Ü There featuring vocals from Kiesza on September 17, 2014. Skrillex commented of Jack Ü that he and Diplo will "feature on each other’s tracks, and put out some singles together, but mostly we [Diplo and Skrillex] just like to DJ together [as Jack Ü]." On February 3, 2015, the pair announced that they would be working with Missy Elliott on a remix to "Take Ü There".
Jack Ü’s debut performance took place at the Mad Decent Block Party in San Diego on September 15, 2013, which is a nationwide tour that record label Mad Decent puts together in order to showcase different artists signed to the label. Diplo announced the project by releasing the Mad Decent Block Party lineup with Jack Ü playing at multiple stops on the tour. After some guessing by many of who “Jack Ü” was, Diplo finally came out to reveal that “Jack Ü … means Skrillex and Diplo together”.
The two have worked with each other on assorted projects over the past five years starting with Skrillex singing and playing guitar on a record for Major Lazer, one of Diplo’s other projects. In 2011, Diplo also worked on a song with Skrillex titled “Amplifire” (though it was never completed or released) for Bangarang. They collaborated on a song that combines trap and dubstep elements and features vocals from Korean pop artists CL and G-Dragon titled Dirty Vibe for Skrillex’s album Recess. When asked about how the two ended up forming Jack Ü, Diplo stated that Skrillex "was one of the first producers I met when I moved to LA…we just [have] always been really close musically with our ideas.” The two get together in Downtown L.A or in hotel rooms when on tour to make their songs.
On March 30, 2014 Jack Ü was given an hour-long slot to play at the Ultra Music Festival. The set included a wide variety of genres featuring songs from Skrillex’s then newly released first studio album, Recess, and including some old school hip-hop with DJ Kool’s “Let Me Clear My Throat”.
On December 31st, 2014 Jack Ü headlined a concert at Madison Square Garden. Besides their (Diplo and Skrillex) performance, other performers included A$AP Ferg, Diplo, Skrillex, Rudimental and Yellow Claw. The concert was broadcast live on Yahoo.

But I really don't want to
Believe me, I could love without you
But I really don't need to
'Cause leavin' is the hardest thing to do
But being left is harder, yes it's true
But try coming back
How can I get back to you?
Let me get back to you
Leavin' is the hardest thing to do
But being left is harder, yes it's true
But try coming back
How do I get back to you, to you, to you?
'Cause leavin' is the hardest thing to do
But being left is harder, yes it's true
But try coming back
How do I get back to you, to you, to you?
How can I get back to you?
Let me get back to you
Let me get back to you
But I don't wanna face it
All this time that I wasted
It's so close, I can taste it
How can I get back to you?
How can I get back to you?
How can I get back to you?
How can I get back to you?
How can I get back to you?
How can I get back to you?

Leavin' is the hardest thing to do
But being left is harder, yes it's true
“To U” by Jack U feat. Aluna George is a song about the struggle of wanting to stay with someone even though you know you could live without them. In the first two lines of the chorus, the singer admits that she could indeed live without her partner. However, she does not want to because she has a strong love for them. The lyrics “Believe me, I could love without you, but I really don't need to” show that the singer has recognized that her love for the partner is strong enough to keep her happy and satisfied.
The pre-chorus of the song is where the singer admits that leaving can be hard but, being left behind is harder. The line “But try coming back, how do I get back to you?” shows that she is willing to take the step of going back and making things right with their partner. The repetition of the line “How can I get back to you?” further emphasizes her willingness to patch things up and return to the relationship on good terms.
The overall message of the song is that relationships are not always easy, and sometimes it takes a lot of effort and willingness to make things work. The chorus shows the singer’s willingness to stay with her partner and work through any difficulties that come their way. In the end, it's this type of resilience and determination that leads to a strong, lasting relationship.

It's so close, I can taste it
I sense that a resolution to our situation is within reach
