Indie maverick JAWNY has kicked off the new year with bittersweet new single “true,” out now via Interscope Records. The song was co-written and co-produced by JAWNY, Imad Royal, and Elie Rizk. The song arrives with an accompanying music video.

Always the hopeless romantic, JAWNY continues to dissect the never-ending rollercoaster of love. On “true” he captures the disheartening descent, expressing his loneliness in a deadpan soliloquy, adorned with a hefty beat and slick guitar lick. As the chorus kicks in, he transforms into a crestfallen crooner: “Maybe it’s through, still I’m in love with you,” he intones. “There’s nothing I can do and I wish it wasn’t true.”


After a busy 2022, which included supporting tour slots with Beck and Oliver Tree, JAWNY will be back on the road in March, when he kicks off a headlining tour with rising indie-pop artist Wallice supporting. Kicking off March 3 in San Diego, the run of dates will include stops in Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, and more.
