Jackson Wang is once again making waves with his latest teaser for his upcoming single, “GBAD,” set to release on March 28, 2025—coincidentally, his 30th birthday. Known for always delivering, Jackson’s teaser has already generated a buzz among fans, offering a glimpse into the intense, futuristic visuals paired with a Wild West-inspired aesthetic.
The 10-second clip opens with a gripping image: a man’s face is visible through a bullet hole in another’s stomach, with Jackson’s piercing gaze locked onto the camera. His portrayal channels a dark, Joker-like energy, exuding both mystery and allure. The gritty, cinematic vibe hints that “GBAD” is shaping up to be one of his boldest and most intense releases yet. Jackson’s caption—“Life is fking great…”—sets the tone for what promises to be a fearless, boundary-pushing track.
Fans couldn’t contain their excitement in the comments, with many speculating about the song’s vibe and storyline. One fan wrote, “I can’t wait to hear GBAD! What kind of story will it tell?” Another asked, “Did Magic Man kill someone?” while others referred to the teaser as “gnarly yet beautiful,” all of them eagerly awaiting the full release.
“GBAD” is the precursor to Jackson’s highly anticipated Magic Man 2 album, the sequel to his 2022 release Magic Man. While the first album explored Jackson’s darkest emotions and the emotional masks he wore to cope with grief and identity struggles, Magic Man 2 promises a deeper, more raw look into his emotional journey. Jackson himself has said that this next chapter will reveal a more vulnerable side of him, inspired by the personal reflections from his journal. Set for a summer 2025 release, the album is expected to be a transformative and daring exploration of Jackson’s growth.
Alongside his solo success, Jackson Wang continues to honor his GOT7 roots. The group recently marked its 11th anniversary with the release of Winter Heptagon, a special album to celebrate their loyal fans. From his beginnings in the popular boyband to his evolution as a global solo artist, Jackson’s career trajectory is nothing short of remarkable, and it seems this is just the beginning for the multifaceted artist.
