He is best known for featuring on Duke Dumont's 2014 single "I Got U", peaking to number one on the UK Singles Chart, and his 2017 single "You Don't Know Me" featuring Raye. The son of two teachers, Jax grew up in a multi-ethnic household and was exposed to a wealth of influences. After his Nigerian stepfather introduced him to afrobeat via Fela Kuti and rap with a tape of the Biggie Smalls album, Jax listened to Hip Hop, R&B, Gospel and traditional African music. Producers like The Neptunes, Timbaland and Rodney Jerkins shaped his musical horizons and his fascination with the anatomy of a rhythm section. Having initially studied classical guitar from a young age, Jax took up beat-making at 15 after discovering Cubase on his friend’s Atari.

Where Did You Go?
Jax Jones Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, my love, where did you go?
Where did you go now? I wanna know
With all my love, where did you go now?
Where did you go now? I wanna know

Where did you go
With my love, with my love?
Where did you go

With my love, with my love?

You just have to walk in the place
And the lights (and the lights) are on you (are on you)
You could put a smile on your face
And you'd light up the room

But then you left me dancing on the floor alone
And now the DJ's gone and all the lights are on
You see, I tried to find you, but words can't describe you
Baby, only one dance ain't enough

Oh, my love, where did you go?
Where did you go now? I wanna know
With all my love, where did you go now?
Where did you go now? I wanna know

Where did you go
With my love, with my love?
Where did you go
With my love, with my love?

You're so beautiful, you're a star
Like a work of art wherever you are
You'll always be the one who got away (got away)
And now I can't forget you, how could I let you?

Leave me dancing on the floor alone
And now the DJ's gone and all the lights are on
You see, I tried to find you, but words can't describe you
Baby, only one dance ain't enough

Oh, my love, where did you go?
Where did you go now? I wanna know
With all my love, where did you go now?
Where did you go now? I wanna know

Where did you go
With my love, with my love?
Where did you go
(Where did you go) with my love? (I wanna know)

Where did you go (where did you go? Where did you go?)
With my love, with my love?
Where did you go (where did you go? Where did you go?)

With my love, with my love?
Where did you go?
