The collaboration is seen as a significant moment, bringing together two of Asia's biggest music stars. Jackson Wang, a member of the K-pop group GOT7 and a successful solo artist, is known for his unique blend of pop, hip-hop, and R&B. Diljit Dosanjh, fresh off his historic performance at Coachella 2023 and his Met Gala 2025 debut, brings his signature Punjabi flavor and high-energy stage presence to the track.
"BUCK" is described as an explosive fusion dance track that bridges cultures. The song is poised to showcase the unique strengths of both artists, delivering a genre-defying anthem. Jackson Wang's "Magic Man" aura combined with Diljit's desi swag promises a unique and vibrant musical experience.
Adding to the excitement, Jackson Wang will visit Mumbai on May 10 to promote "BUCK". This marks his second trip to India, following his debut performance at Lollapalooza in 2023.
The collaboration came to life after both artists expressed mutual interest in working together. Jackson's visit is being coordinated by Kamal Shah, a Singapore-based associate, and Bunty Bahl, a figure in the Indian music and Bollywood industry.
"BUCK" is not just a song but a cultural celebration. It represents a meeting point of K-pop and Punjabi pop, promising a dancefloor detonation. Fans are eagerly counting down the days until the release, anticipating a track that will transcend borders and unite diverse audiences.
