After a year of relative calm, jxdn is back – and stronger than ever. The genre-bending artist has returned with his latest single, ‘Reputation’ released via a new collaboration with Lava music and Republic Recordswhich signals a striking new chapter in his career.
“I think there’s a moment in everyone’s life there ‘I want’ becomes ‘I have to’“, jxdn shared in a statement. “This is it for me. Life is too short to wonder “what could” when you were born with feeling ‘I should’.”
That urgency pulses through ‘Reputation’. Built around soaring melodies and a cinematic pop sheen, the song expands on the emotional intensity that first catapulted jxdn — born Jaden Hossler — from TikTok fame to the forefront of the pop-punk revival. But this time he’s aiming beyond the angst, pushing towards something bigger and more mature.
The single follows the 2024 century “When the Music Stops” and his debut in 2021 “Tell About Tomorrow”both of which positioned him as one of Gen Z’s most promising crossover acts. With ‘Reputation’discarding the sophomore fluke narrative, jxdn re-introduces himself as an artist ready to define his own sound.
Produced under his new label alliance, the song’s glossy yet anthemic production underscores a lyrical message of self-definition—a fitting theme for an artist known for rebirth. That’s a confident statement from someone who has always worn vulnerability as armor.
