"Hush Hush" is a song by American recording artist Alexis Jordan, taken from her self-titled debut album (2011). It was released as the album's third and final single on June 10, 2011. The dance-pop song was written by Autumn Rowe, Stargate and Sandy Vee. Alexis called the song "feisty" and that it was a song that "unleashes a fiery side of her personality".

Background

Speaking in May 2011 to urban writer Pete Lewis of Blues & Soul, Jordan described the lyrical background to the song: "It's really dealing with the situation where - if you've been hurt, or someone's treated you wrong or cheated on you in a relationship - you're basically saying 'Be quiet! I don't wanna hear it! I'm gonna move ON!'... So what I particularly liked about the song is that it's a very powerful statement for anybody who's been in that kind of situation."^[1]

Production

"Hush Hush" is written by Autumn Rowe, StarGate and Sandy Vee, and it was produced by Stargate and Sandy Vee.^[2] When premiering the song with Digital Spy, Jordan discussed the song. "The thing I love about this track is that it has a dance beat that is irresistible. You can't not dance to it! It's also quite fierce and feisty, but in a fun and positive way."^[3] Discussing the recording process of the record, she insisted: "It was a very calm and fun process. I was always in the studio smiling! It was something that I felt so blessed to be doing - it never felt like a chore. I am thankful to the whole team around me though, we mesh very well together."^[3]

Reception

Critical reception

BBC Music described the production as "clattery", while praising the strength and soul in Jordan's vocals as "empowering".^[4] Lewis Corner of Digital Spy gave the song four stars out of five and wrote, ""Hush, hush, hush/ You know I'm coming for ya/ Tough, tough, tough," she threatens over a relentless Stargate-helmed disco riff and dance beats that pack more camp oomph than a Pineapple Dance Studios session with Louie Spence."^[5] 4Music's David Griffiths called the song "another dancefloor-friendly pop track that will have you on your feet in seconds."^[6]

Chart performance

The song peaked at number 36 in Ireland,^[7] and 66 in the UK from strong downloads from the album, almost one month before the official release. The song peaked on number 12 in The Netherlands.

Music video

The music video for the song was uploaded to YouTube on 6 May 2011 and lasts four minutes and six seconds. The music video was directed by Clifton Bell.
