‘High Alone’ reintroduces the MAGIC MAN persona, first seen in Jackson’s eponymous 2022 album. A deeply introspective track, it offers insight into the idol’s struggles and growth over the past few years. Co-written by Jackson, the song explores themes of vulnerability, loneliness, and heartbreak, highlighting how the deepest wounds often come not from adversaries, but from those closest to us.

The music video showcases Magic Man trying his best to please the audience even at the cost of himself, buried under the weight of expectations—both self-imposed and external—fighting an inner battle he ultimately loses.

A hauntingly beautiful tale, the MV for ‘High Alone’ highlights the difference between what a performance means to the public and what it means to management.
