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.
Where Are Ü Now
Jack Ü Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
I need you the most
I gave you the key when the door wasn't open
Just admit it
See, I gave you faith, turned your doubt into hoping, can't deny it
Now I'm all alone and my joys turned to moping
Where are you now? (where are you now?)
Where are you now that I need ya?
Couldn't find you anywhere
When you broke down I didn't leave ya
I was by your side
So where are you now that I need ya?
Where are you now that I need ya?
Where are you now that I need ya?
Where are you now that I need ya?
Where are you now that I need ya?
I gave you attention when nobody else was payin', hm
I gave you the shirt off my back whatchu sayin'
To keep you warm
I showed you the game everybody else was playin', that's for sure
And I was on my knees when nobody else was prayin', oh Lord
Where are you now that I need ya?
Where are you now that I need ya?
I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, (Where are you now that I need ya?)
I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
I need you the most
Where are you now that I need ya?
Where are you now that I need ya?
Where are you now that I need ya?
I need you the most
I need you the most
I need you the most
The lyrics to Jack U's "Where Are U Now" are an emotional plea to someone who has left the singer alone when they needed them the most. The repeated line "I need you" conveys the desperation of the singer, emphasizing the importance of this person to them. The opening lines, "I gave you the key when the door wasn't open / Just admit it", suggest that the singer empowered and trusted the person they're addressing, but they weren't reciprocated in the same way. The following lines, "See, I gave you faith, turned your doubt into hoping, can't deny it / Now I'm all alone and my joys turned to moping," further illustrate the singer's frustration and sadness.
The chorus asks the question "Where are you now that I need ya?", emphasizing the abandonment the singer feels. The next lines, "Couldn't find you anywhere / When you broke down I didn't leave ya / I was by your side," suggest that the singer was supportive and loyal, but this person has left them in their time of need. The second verse repeats the theme of the singer being there for this person, emphasizing the sacrifices they made, but the person has still left them alone. The song's emotional delivery, with a pulsing beat and Justin Bieber's emotive vocals, serve to underline the heartbreak and pain of the lyrics.

LETS JUST SUMARISE ALL WE HAVE RIGHT NOW
-Marshmello is a new producer who had his big boom in the forst few months he appeared and gets anytime more and more populare and loved
-but he cant be just a random guy just producing stuff, cause he really sounds like having much experience and he really need to have good connections that he gets promoted so fast and well
- in nearly every video hes posting theres skrillex to see
- skrillex is a producer whos producing so many different directions of edm, including definitely the direction marshmello is made up to.
If u listen to the interview of skrillex on yahoo u will see what i mean
So skrillex definitely could be him because of the experience he has, the music type he makes and that just every fucking song of him is mindblowing
U cant tell me that a newcomer can make every song/remix sound so perfect, so he has to be a producer known as an other name.
And this music type could not be like avicii, dabid guetta and all that mainstream stuff
BUT in the yahoo interview of sonny 'marshmello' called him, or skrillex just pretended to get called by marshmello.
Either way, skrillex there called him CHRIS and as a NEW YOUNG UPCOMING producer.
Another facr is that skrillex got the where are u now remix long before anybody else did.
And as i already said, in any of marshmello's videos skrillex is to see there.
So what i really believe is that skrilex is marshmello and is just fooling us with the phone call and the videos to let us think 'this definitely could not be skrillex'
Because i think there is no humang being besides skrillex that is able to make ever song so wow and just perfect..
Another theory is that marshmello's just a realllyyyy really reaaalllyyy good friend of skrillex, so he knows how to produce good stuff, maybe skrillex helps him a bit to produce stuff and through skrilldx he has like best connections he could ever get.
This is my theory, tell me what u think❤
