Global icons Jackson Wang and Diljit Dosanjh join forces for their sizzling new single BUCK, blending East Asian swag with Punjabi fire in a track that’s turning the internet upside down
In an unforeseen yet much anticipated collaboration, the $8 billion (and rising) fortune holder goes head to head with the “Sweet Sardar Boy” in Punjabi Music, as Hong Kong’s global heartthrob Jackson Wang pairs up with king Diljit Dosanjh for the blazing single BUCK. Let us just say that the vibes are hotter than a Butter Chicken Plate on a summer afternoon.
Jackson, who happens to be a walking Vogue shoot and an ex-K-Pop idol turned solo icon, joins hands with the man who lifts stadiums, drops Billboard champion albums, and still manages to cooly brush off things with his sweet persona.
Jackson gives us a track that makes you wonder whether “buck” means to vibe, flex, or completely let loose on the floor. We are here for it all. It’s a full attitude bilingual banger jumping from English to Punjabi and back, like a fashion runway meets desi wedding reception meets underground club. Wild, right?
The beat? Nasty (and I mean this in the best way).
The visuals? Two icons serving fashion with every frame.
The energy? Chaotic good.
The buzz around JACKSON is surreal, tho, because its rumored that he will be flying into Mumbai to promote BUCK on the 10th of May, his second major appearance in India, further fueling commotion amongst fans in the region.
This trip is being arranged by Bunty Bahl, a noted personality from the music and Bollywood industry, along with Shah, who is a Singapore-based close friend of Jackson.
Both artists have showcased their worlds in a manner that defies genres with BUCK.
Jackson fans, aka TEAM WANG, and those who treat Diljit as the Punjabi Beyoncé have completely taken over social media, creating memes and reels everywhere.
This track by these two is more than just a song – it’s a cultural moment. It has to be said, if this is what we get when Eastern artistry collides with Eastern artistry, we need so much more of this.
Diljit and Jackson have sent us a message with this single: it’s unapologetic and dazzling, bold and beautiful. Slapping one another fists full of golden E’s on Balenciaga caps is most definitely the direction this is heading.
