The new single “Missing Me” from Nashville-based pop riser Jordan Anthony. Built around towering melodies, polished pop production, and the kind of hook made to be shouted from the driver’s seat, the track captures the strange, charged moment of seeing an ex for the first time after a breakup and realizing that both people may still be carrying more than they are willing to admit. Jordan wrote “Missing Me” after an unexpected run-in with an ex at a bar, nearly a year after their relationship ended. At the time, she appeared cold and unaffected, giving him almost nothing emotionally. Later, he heard from one of her friends that she had fallen apart after he left. That contrast became the emotional core of the song: the tension between what people show on the outside and what they may still be feeling underneath.
Jordan Anthony first gained attention as an American Idol Top 14 and has since found success with over a million plays and has been featured on Spotify’s Peaceful Pop, Fresh Finds Pop, Next Gen Singer Songwriters playlists.
Jordan Anthony is an Australian-born pop artist, songwriter, and performer now based in Nashville, carving out a lane with emotionally direct, cinematic pop songs built around big hooks, vulnerable storytelling, and arena-sized melodies.
After first breaking through as a finalist on The Voice Australia in 2019, Jordan went on to represent Australia at Junior Eurovision, speak at TEDx Perth, headline major stages including RAC Arena’s One Big Voice, and reach the Top 14 on American Idol in 2024. Since relocating to the U.S., he has continued building momentum through a run of independent releases, an increasingly loyal fan community known as the Jam Fam, and a growing writing network across Los Angeles and Nashville.
Jordan has also been steadily expanding his live footprint, with recent performances including a main stage show at Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles, a showcase with We Found New Music, support dates with Nour Khodr, and an opening slot for KAYKO on the Manic Pixie Dream Girl Tour. These shows have helped introduce his new material in a more intimate, fan-forward setting while continuing to build his reputation as a dynamic live vocalist and storyteller.
As a writer, Jordan has been actively collaborating across Nashville and Los Angeles, setting up sessions both independently and through his team as he develops the next phase of his artistry. His recent work includes collaborations with writers and producers including Todd Tran, Joe Tounge, and Chase Cimala, with whom he wrote his new single “Missing Me” in Nashville. The session quickly became a turning point for Jordan’s next chapter, landing on a massive hook and emotional concept that felt immediately connected to the world he is building around his forthcoming debut EP.
Jordan’s recent singles, including “Lost in LA,” “Existing” with Chloé Caroline, and “Wrong Impression,” have introduced a more refined chapter in his artistry, blending the emotional scale of classic pop ballads with the immediacy of modern radio-ready production. His music often circles themes of distance, longing, self-discovery, and chasing a dream far from home, while still leaving room for release, joy, and hope.
His new single, “Missing Me,” leads into the world of his forthcoming debut EP, a body of work inspired by his first two years living in the U.S. Written in Nashville with Todd Tran, Joe Tounge, and Chase Cimala, the track captures the surreal emotional whiplash of seeing an ex for the first time after a breakup, then turns that tension into a massive, cathartic pop anthem made to be screamed in the car.
With influences ranging from Ed Sheeran to Justin Bieber, Jordan is building toward a debut EP full of ginormous pop ballads that document the highs, losses, homesickness, and personal growth of a young artist chasing something bigger in a foreign city.
