Jesse McCartney is back with new music and is surprised at the response from fans!
The 30-year-old singer and actor didn’t expect the reactions he got after releasing his new song “Better With You” after four years away from the music scene.
“After such a long break, I thought maybe it might be a little harder to get their attention with the new music, but they proved me wrong,†Jesse told Tremblay magazine. “They’ve made it very clear that they’ve been waiting all along.â€
“My focus is to introduce people to that growth, even if they only know me from the Beautiful Soul days. As long as I can reach them, I feel pretty confident that the new music will meaningfully connect,” he added.
“The most humbling and rewarding part is the fact that it has been nearly four years since my last release and before ‘Better With You’ even came out, the fans were singing every word of the song at the live shows,†he continued.
Jesse McCartney keeps it cool while chatting about his comeback single, “Better With You”, during his appearance on Build Series in New York City on Wednesday (March 28).
The now 30-year-old musician just recently debuted the music video for the song and it’s definitely swoon-worthy.
“Danielle Campbell is just lovely in this video,” Jesse says of his video co-star. “She’s an incredible actress.”
“I knew I needed an actor for this video because we were attempting to shoot over a two day period and made it seem like we were in a five year relationship; and that can be super uncomfortable if you’ve never met someone before and you’re working together in such a close environment.”
Jesse adds, “This could’ve easily been a slice of cheese…but we wanted to incorporate things that made the relationships authentic.”
In the visual, Jesse dreams up a what if life with Danielle, when she drops her keys on the sidewalk where he’s sitting — and is the perfect visual for his comeback single.
The song is “a hopeful, uplifting message that was written during a turbulent time socially and politically,” Jesse shared with Paper magazine.
He adds, “The world felt like it was unravelling. I think it was a song that I thought everyone would want to hear and frankly I wanted to hear. So I wrote it.”
The two actors and singers both shared photos on their accounts and it’s making us very curious as to what they are up to.
“Me and @thedaniellecampbell …up to something,” Jesse captioned the photo on his account.
Last week, he announced that his new single “Better With You” will be released on March 23, so this leads us to think they may be shooting the music video!
Jesse McCartney just shared the final trailer for his new collaboration with Built by Titan.

Built by Titanadded, “Friday. So much blood, sweat, and tears went into this whole effort…seriously. – from so many people. Hope you guys will love it.”
Jesse McCartney chats with a friend while out at The Grove in Los Angeles on Wednesday afternoon (December 23).
The 28-year-old singer and actor picked up some last minute gifts at Crate & Barrel and one other shop before heading home to spend the holidays with his family and girlfriend, Katie Peterson.
In case you didn’t know, Jesse has a new movie out in theaters — Alvin & The Chipmunks: The Road Chip!
“I just talk normally like I would, but a little higher. It’s tricky because you have to speak really slow, but with the same emphasis and enthusiasm as a normal conversation,” Jesse once shared about voicing Theodore.
He added, “You do that, and it sounds like a chipmunk—or it sounds awful, and you have to do it 50 more times. (laughs) As a young boy I was a big fan so it’s kinda cool to be a part of that franchise.”
