Jackson Wang has dropped the highly anticipated collab song with Diljit Dosanjh!
On May 9, Jackson Wang released the third single from ‘MAGICMAN 2’, titled ‘BUCK’, featuring Indian superstar Diljit Dosanjh. “I dreamed of going all the way to hell to deal with you,” Jackson shared, introducing the intense energy behind this bold dance-pop track. The song features sultry vocals and sharp, rhythmic breaths, paired with a dark, gripping music video. Co-directed by Jackson and Nicholas Lam, the visuals blend eerie, haunting imagery with explosive choreography, spotlighting Jackson’s flair for dramatic storytelling and stage presence.
The video opens with Jackson furiously slamming a squid onto a table, immediately setting the tone. It then transitions to a cave-like setting, where Jackson’s Magic Man persona dances to the line, “Say you wanna dance?” As the music builds, Diljit Dosanjh enters with his signature swag and powerful Punjabi verses. The video comes full circle, closing with Jackson taking a bite of the squid.
Touted as the ultimate dance anthem of ‘MAGICMAN 2’, ‘BUCK’ expands the cinematic scope of his previous singles while offering an unfiltered glimpse into Jackson’s evolving artistry.
‘MAGICMAN 2’ marks Jackson’s most personal and ambitious body of work, entirely self-produced. Crafted over the course of more than a year, the album took shape during a much-needed hiatus from the public eye. In stepping away from the spotlight, Jackson began confronting long-ignored emotions, resulting in a deeply honest chronicle of growth.
From manic highs fueled by denial, to the painful reckoning of lost identity, setting boundaries and shedding people-pleasing tendencies, to ultimately finding peace through acceptance, it’s a journey Jackson undertook, and one that unfolds throughout ‘MAGICMAN 2’.
So far, Jackson has released three singles from the album, including ‘BUCK’. The lead single, ‘High Alone’, explored vulnerability, loneliness, and heartbreak, revealing how the deepest wounds often come from those closest to us. It debuted at No. 1 on Apple Music in 22 countries and regions. The second single, ‘GBAD’, focused on letting go of people-pleasing habits and the importance of setting emotional boundaries. Since its release, the track has gone viral, amassing over 31 million views on YouTube.
Following the release of ‘BUCK’, Jackson is also set to visit India on May 10. He is expected to travel to multiple cities across the country.
Coinciding with the release of ‘BUCK’, pre-orders for ‘MAGICMAN 2’ have officially opened. Fans can choose from a wide range of physical formats and exclusive merchandise, available through Jackson’s official store and major retailers. Options include standard and limited-edition CDs and vinyl, such as signed copies, boxed sets with exclusive apparel and posters, and retail-specific editions like the Barnes & Noble Exclusive Opaque Orchid Vinyl and the Target Exclusive CD featuring a bonus acapella track. A series of product drops tied to the album’s four thematic chapters will also roll out in the coming weeks, offering collectible, chapter-specific editions.
‘MAGICMAN 2’ is set to be released on July 18, 2025.
