'Makes Me Sick': Jess Glynne Slams White House For Using Her Song In Deportations Video

Jess Glynne in Cannes last yearJess Glynne has voiced her anger after the US government used one of her songs to soundtrack a social media post poking fun at ICE deportations.In the last few weeks, the British singer’s signature tune Hold My Hand has been having a resurgence in popularity due to the viral “Jet2 holiday” trend on TikTok.On Monday, the White House shared a video post on X depicting migrants being deported from the US, accompanied by the TikTok sound which includes Jess’ Hold My Hand.“When ICE books you a one-way Jet2 holiday to deportation,” the offending post read. “Nothing beats it!”Jess shared a screengrab of the X post on her Instagram story on Wednesday evening, writing that it “honestly makes me sick”.“My music is about love, unity, and spreading positivity – never about division or hate,” she wrote.Jess Glynne speaks out against The White House after they used her song, included in Jet 2 Holidays’ adverts, for a video of deportations:“This post honestly makes me sick. My music is about love, unity, and spreading positivity — never about division or hate.” pic.twitter.com/QdAQA43rXC— ig: wigsandtea (@wigsandtea_) July 30, 2025HuffPost UK has also contacted Jet2 for comment.Jess released Hold My Hand in 2015, and it went on to become the third of her record-breaking seven UK number one singles.The track went on to become synonymous with the low-cost British airline for a number of years now, being used in both its advertising campaigns and on board its actual flights (indeed, it first had a viral moment back in 2018, when British holidaygoers flying with Jet2 began sharing their collective frustration at the song being played on repeat before take-off).In recent history, Hold My Hand has had yet another viral moment, with TikTok users playing Jess’ song – and the cheerful voiceover used in Jet2’s ad, which highlights how much money can be saved if they fly with the budget airline – to soundtrack less-than-glamorous holiday moments.Meanwhile, Jess is far from the only artist to take issue with the Trump administration (both the first and second time around) for using their music without permission.READ MORE:18 Artists Who Have Hit Out At Donald Trump For Using Their SongsJess Glynne Opens Up About Her Romance With Alex ScottJess Glynne Speaks Out After Jet2 Passengers Joke That They've Been Tortured By Her Song
