No One Compares To You

“No One Compares to You” is Jack & Jack’s first release after achieving global acclaim featuring on Jonas Blue’s summer smash hit “Rise”. This track marks their third demo after “Rise” and their 2017’s “Beg”. Writer Jake Torrey approached them with the idea for this song and the trio went on to write the track “Barcelona” for their album.

They explained that “Rise” was the first time a lot of people outside of their fanbase had heard their music, and they wanted to “ease them into the world of Jack & Jack” by continuing the “tropical vibe”. “No One Compares to You” was originally all-acoustic, so they provided DJ Khaled’s sensation “I’m The One” as a reference for it’s reproduction. They felt its upbeat, feel-good nature would allow them to reach their goal of another radio hit.

The song details a subject who loves a girl but is unable to get her. They try to replace her, but fail because they can’t find anyone good enough.

Jack G: "The moments that inspired this song, I feel like for me personally, moments with my ex and then dealing with the break up. Going through the aftermath, which is I guess living the single life, and then in the back of your head, you want someone there because you miss the void that’s left from the person that you previously loved. That’s definitely a struggle, but I feel like everyone goes through that in the following months of a relationship."

Jack J: "Yeah, I feel like it’s a very universally synonymous feeling that everybody gets post relationship. You know, you try to have these skeletons in your closet and try to fill the void by doing whatever, but it always ends up backfiring. You start seeing this person’s face, and they’re always lingering in the back of your head no matter what you try to do, no matter how you try to cope. So, I think that’s the universal message behind the song, but we like to leave it up for interpretation, you know? However, you want to take it, you can take it."

Jack J: "The song actually started out very acoustically when it was originally just TMS producing it. It started out very kinda night and day versus where it is now, the final product. Jussi, we were grateful enough to have him come in on the track and kind of give it more of that tropical sense, so the contrast between the lyrics and production is very, very obvious."

Jack G: "Yeah, we felt like we just came off the tail end of this massive tune over in the UK called “Rise,” and we didn’t wanna throw off people who may have never heard of us before “Rise.”"
