Jackson Wang is back, and he’s not holding anything back. His latest single, ‘GBAD’, the second track from his upcoming album Magic Man 2 is out and it lives up to his promise of being real, raw, and utterly authentic. This track isn’t just a catchy tune; it’s a deep dive into the complexities of toxic cycles and the exhausting battle of trying to break free.
Jackson Wang GBAD Song Review
The lyrics of ‘GBAD’ showcase Jackson’s evolved storytelling. The song will resonate with anyone who’s felt the weariness of fighting to break free from something that constantly pulls them back. It’s a raw and honest portrayal of emotional exhaustion. What makes the ‘GBAD’ experience truly unique is its bizarre music video. From Teletubbies sun-making an appearance to a slightly unsettling Alice in Wonderland aesthetic, it is goofy yet powerful. The music video also shows Jackson Wang with superpowers and swooping in to seemingly save the day. And just when you think you’ve seen it all, Squidward Tentacles from SpongeBob SquarePants inexplicably shows up for a fight with Jackson! This unexpected twist had many viewers, including myself, in stitches.
