Jack Savoretti has made a grand return with the soul-stirring ballad Do It For Love, co-written by Miles Kane.
Described as “a Morricone-meets-Bassey torch song”, the 41-year-old English-Italian singer and his indie star friend Miles, 39, were inspired by a clip of Julio Iglesias and Charles Aznavour performing Com’è triste Venezia.
Jack shared: “We were both suited up, having just fled an awards ceremony.
“And we thought: we should do a song like that.”
It was whilst performing in Eastern Europe that the meaning of the track dawned on Jack.
He explained: “This song is me explaining to the audience why we’re up there. The minute my piano started, the minute I said the first line – ‘lost myself in a wishing well / wish that I had someone to tell / all these things I’ve done / I did them for love’ – I got it.
It’s an anthem for anyone who keeps going, who refuses to take no for an answer. You can romanticise why we write and sing and perform songs. You can try to define it. But essentially: it’s because we love doing it. That’s always our love.”
The song is accompanied by a vintage-looking black-and-white one-take performance video filmed at Eastcote Studios in West London.
To celebrate the release, Jack Savoretti has announced his first-ever headline show at London’s legendary Royal Albert Hall, set for April 23, 2026. The one-night-only event will honour his 20-year milestone in music with a career-spanning performance.
Tickets go on sale on October 17 via www.jacksavoretti.com.
Over two decades, Jack has achieved two number-one albums, amassed more than a billion streams, and collaborated with huge names including Bob Dylan, Kylie Minogue, Nile Rodgers, and Shania Twain.
He made his debut with the song Without in October 2006. His most recent studio album was 2024’s Miss Italia.
