Rising singer Journey Montana expresses her frustration towards a former lover on her new single, “Jack,” delving into the details of her grievances.
No, Montana didn’t name her new song after an ex named Jack. She took the name partly from Ray Charles’ soul classic “Hit the Road Jack,” one of her favorite songs.
With raw honesty, she paints a vivid picture of the pain and drama she went through with a no-good companion. Montana, now feeling empowered, hands boxes and a pink slip to her lover as she sees him out of her life.
“On my version, ‘Jack’ represents hitting a breaking point and what happens when you realize enough is enough and it’s time to let that man go. This is a song about a woman choosing and trusting herself,” Montana says about the track.
In conjunction with the release of “Jack,” Montana debuts a visualizer showing her ex’s belongings left at the front door. The visualizer can be viewed below.
“Jack” is the fourth song release by Montana this year and the latest under 10k Projects, her new label. She previously dished out the singles, “Vendetta,” “Ain’t Mine” and “212.”
Her first track for 10k Projects, “Bad Decisions,” went viral on TikTok last year and has since become one of her most popular songs on music platforms.
Prior to signing with her new label, Montana was already gaining buzz. Her 2021 debut EP, In & Out, featured the focus track “Selfless” and another popular track, “Forget Me.”
