Get ready to feel everything! Global pop icon Jackson Wang has just released his latest single ‘Hate to Love’ and it’s hitting fans right in the feelings. The deeply personal track is the fourth release from his upcoming album ‘MAGIC MAN 2’ – dropping July 18th – and it’s already being called his most vulnerable moment yet.
After giving us club bangers like ‘GBAD’ and moody reflections like ‘High Alone’, Wang is diving even deeper — this time tackling betrayal, heartbreak, and healing over a slick synth-pop beat. Think late-night thoughts and emotional clarity, all wrapped up in three and a half minutes.
“I’ve always questioned when I’m going to find love,” Jackson shared. “But maybe the question is: ‘when am I going to love myself?’”
The singles official music video, directed by James Mao, pairs the track’s moodiness with sparseness—a single-camera, stationary shot that leaves no distractions, just Wang’s gaze and the hushed power of his performance. It’s a stylistic choice that foregrounds vulnerability and commands silence.
Watch the EPIC clip below:
