Jenni Smith leaps into pop-country spotlight with new single ‘Stuck On You’

Romantic, daydreamy, and just the right amount of dizzy, Jenni’s new single ‘Stuck On You’ is a crush anthem for anyone who’s ever spiraled into a heady “what-if.” Blending glittering modern pop with classic country storytelling, the 24-year-old Aotearoa singer-songwriter hits a sweet spot between heart-on-sleeve vulnerability and undeniable charm.

With lyrics pulled straight from a notebook full of imagined moments, ‘Stuck On You’ explores that specific kind of emotional chaos that comes with catching feelings—equal parts butterflies and overthinking. It’s warm, wide-eyed, and wonderstruck. “It’s honest, and full of heart,” says Jenni, and it shows.

The track builds on the momentum of 2024’s ‘T-Shirt’, which landed at #3 on the Official NZ Singles Chart, and Jenni’s growing list of accolades—including winning Songwriter of the Year at the 2018 NZCMA Entertainer of the Year Awards. Since joining the country music scene at just 12, she’s carved out a space for her own style: bright, relatable, and unabashedly romantic.

To celebrate the new release, Jenni is hitting the road for her first nationwide acoustic tour—a chance for fans to hear these songs up close and stripped-back. Fittingly titled the Girl Next Door Tour, it promises intimate, heartfelt shows where storytelling takes centre stage.

The Girl Next Door Tour:

• Palmerston North – Snails Artist Run Spaces | Saturday, July 5

• Tauranga – The Jam Factory | Saturday, July 12

• Auckland – MoveSpace | Saturday, July 26

Whether you’re knee-deep in a crush or just love a good hook wrapped in emotion, ‘Stuck On You’ is the kind of track that lingers—in your head, in your heart, and on your playlist.
