Peñate released his debut album Matinée in 2007 under XL Recordings. A young and then-unknown Adele provided the backing vocals for the song, "My Yvonne". Peñate's second album Everything Is New was released in 2009. In June 2015, Peñate stated he was working on new material, releasing his first new music in five years in 2018. After a decade without an album, he released his third album After You in 2019. Since 2021, Peñate has collaborated with Inflo and the musical collective Sault across several albums, including 11 which in May 2023 won the Ivor Novello Award for "Best Album". Peñate, alongside producer Inflo and vocalists Cleo Sol and Chronixx, were joint recipients of the award. In November 2023, Sault announced their first live performance, teasing that they would play an unreleased album of material. The tour began on 14 December in London, with Peñate featuring as a guest performer. The show included songs from then-unreleased album Acts of Faith. In June 2024, Peñate appeared on stage playing guitar with Little Simz at the 2024 Glastonbury Festival. Beyond his music career, Jack is also part of the creative collective Group of Humans.
