Jackson Wang drops the MV for his highly anticipated single, ‘High Alone’.
On February 13 at 1 AM KST (February 12, 9:30 PM IST), Jackson Wang released his new single, ‘High Alone’, along with its music video. The song marks the first preview of his upcoming full-length album, ‘MAGIC MAN 2’, and sets the tone for the album.
‘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 for ‘High Alone’ reflects the theme of the song, blurring the lines between illusion and reality as Magic Man attempts a daring underwater handcuff escape. As the audience watches in awe, a darker truth lurks under the surface. This surreal setting serves as a metaphor, exploring the harsh realities of the industry and the human experience. 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.
‘High Alone’ is now available on all streaming platforms.
‘MAGIC MAN 2’ is set to release in the summer of 2025.
