The Jackson Wang effect takes over the world

“Drive You Home” is an 80s-inspired love song blending sentimental guitar-driven melodies with booming hip-hop percussion that features Jackson Wang’s most affecting & confident vocal performance to-date.

The song samples the iconic 1984 single “Drive” from the legendary new wave band The Cars, and is a collaboration with the chart-topping Internet Money producer collective - hip-hop's go-to producers of the moment (Juice Wrld - “Lucid Dreams”, Lil Tecca - “Ransom”, Internet Money & Gunna ft. Don Toliver & Nav - “Lemonade”).

Accompanying the single is a music video that Jackson scripted, directed, and produced himself alongside Mamesjao and tells a heartbreaking story of a hard-partying night told in reverse.

The previously-release “LMLY” and “Drive You Home” will both ladder up to Jackson’s forthcoming sophomore album, due in November 2021.

Here's how the song "Drive You Home" trended on its release:
