After a three-year hiatus and newfound independence, Jack & Jack re-entered the industry better than ever with the release of their sophomore album, HOME, a year ago today. Now, their latest single “Losing You,” released on February 28th, signifies the start of a new era–one fueled by artistic freedom, emotional depth, and an immersive album rollout. As the first single from their upcoming project, Symbiosis, “Losing You” offers fans a glimpse of what’s to come. The single’s intimate lyricism and ability to capture the bittersweet moments of relationships, love, and loss are guaranteed to take fans on an emotional journey.
From the start of the ballad, the duo pours their hearts out with vulnerability and introspective lyrics, immediately establishing the song’s mood. The opening lines–“Might take some time to get this weight up off my chest. But sometimes there’s light in the place you least expect,”–perfectly encapsulates the essence of the song: the struggle of letting someone go while discovering that hope and clarity can arise after heartbreak.
The pre-chorus dives deeper into these intense emotions, reflecting on a relationship that’s now come to an end: “All the time that we spent feeling wasted. Was it all for nothing?” / “Do what it takes to avoid conversation. On my mind, but I can’t seem to say it. It’s the end of the road we should face it.” Through these lyrics, Jack & Jack are crafting a deeply personal narrative within their music, offering fans more than just a song–but a captivating experience that resonates with anyone who has faced similar struggles when it comes to love.
These feelings of yearning and repressed emotions build through the chorus and into Jack Johnson’s verse. With lyrics like “Yeah I know it’s easier losing you” / “I’ll be better off all by myself. Loving you’s like freezing over hell,” the duo tugs on listeners’ heartstrings, showing their ability to turn heartbreak into raw, passionate storytelling. This strengthens the song’s meaning: a love that once felt eternal slowly unraveling–but, in the end, finding comfort in moving on. The duo has described this album rollout as “a gentle flow, like a fresh mountain spring, its stream slowly winding its way down the mountainside.” Listening to “Losing You,” its harmonies and lyrical depth embody that fluidity, feeling like a water current guiding listeners along, immersing them in the stories that unfold.
The release of “Losing You” marks the beginning of the Symbiosis journey and is the prelude to something much bigger. This new era goes beyond a traditional album release–it’s an unfolding story that fans are invited to witness in real-time. If “Losing You” is any indication, Symbiosis will be their most compelling and personal project to date–an artistic rebirth full of personal growth and experimentation, proving again that Jack & Jack’s music is only getting better.
