Release and reception
"Jealous Lover" was released on 25 June 2026 as Foreign Tongues' second single, and was well received. In a review for Consequence, Chris Coplan wrote that on the track, "Mick Jagger spends most of the tune pushing the higher registers of his falsetto while the instrumental—which includes contributions from Steve Winwood and Andrew Watt — jams along."[4] Blabbermouth notes the track "offers another compelling example of the band's remarkable ability to move effortlessly between musical styles.", they also write that it "combines infectious melodies, rich musicianship and sharp lyrical observations. Jagger delivers a pointed warning to an over-inquisitive lover, bringing humor, attitude and vivid imagery to the song's narrative." concluding by saying that ""Jealous Lover" highlights the chemistry and creativity that continue to define the Rolling Stones more than six decades into their career, blending classic influences with a fresh and contemporary approach.[5] A music video directed by Chris Barrett and Luke Taylor was released and stars Anya Taylor-Joy and Charles Melton.[6]
