"Son of a Gun" is the debut single of British dance music DJ Jake Williams, released under the name JX.

The Top Ten chart success of "Son Of A Gun" in Australia was very much, almost solely, due to a community radio station in Melbourne, 98.9 North West FM.

In his weekly UK chart commentary in Dotmusic, James Masterton described the song as a "bubbling synthesised dance hit".

[1] A reviewer from Music Week gave it four out of five, adding, "A corking house tune that has failed to keep its head down, hence the reissue.

[4] An RM editor, Andy Beevers, called it "an unstoppable belter with dead catchy hi-energy synth riffs and the unforgettable 'A man that's on the run is a dirty son of a gun' female vocal hook.
