After a year of relative quiet, jxdn is back — and louder than ever. The genre-bending musician has returned with his up-to-date single, ‘Reputation’ released via a new partnership with Lava beat and Republic Records, signalling a striking new chapter in his career.
“I think there is a moment in everyone’s life where ‘I want to’ becomes ‘I have to’,” jxdn shared in a statement. “This is that for me. Life is too short to wonder ‘what could’ when you were born feeling ‘I should’.”
That urgency pulses through ‘Reputation’. Built around towering melodies and a cinematic pop sheen, the track expands on the emotional intensity that first catapulted jxdn — born Jaden Hossler — from TikTok fame to the frontlines of the pop-punk revival. This time, though, he’s aiming beyond the angst, pushing toward something grander and more mature.
The single follows 2024’s ‘When The beat Stops’ and his 2021 debut ‘Tell Me About Tomorrow’, both of which positioned him as one of Gen Z’s most promising crossover acts. With ‘Reputation’, jxdn sheds the sophomore-slump narrative and reintroduces himself as an musician 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 musician known for rebirth. It’s a confident statement from someone who has always worn vulnerability like armour.

As for what’s next, ‘Reputation’ feels like a teaser for a larger body of work — and perhaps, a reinvention in full. For jxdn, the message is clear: this is no comeback. It’s a reckoning.
Fans can stream ‘Reputation’ immediately on all major platforms.
