JVCKJ signifies a new chapter for Jack Johnson, who is widely known as one half of the multiplatinum pop duo Jack & Jack. From growing a massive online audience making videos in his childhood home in Omaha, Nebraska, to now countless sold out tours, multi-platinum records, a billion-plus streams and numerous other musical accolades, Jack has always been a creative force. In a lot of ways, JVCKJ is a true exploration of Jack Johnsons individual musical interests and lyrical ability. His first solo single titled You Lie finds Jack painting a true picture of how two people in a relationship can find themselves caught up in a vicious cycle of pain. Sometimes when you hurt somebody theyll retaliate and hurt you back, he says. Its really about deception within a relationship. Another one of Jacks big musical influences comes into play here, Eminem. My biggest musical influence for this record and in general, from a story telling perspective would have to be Eminem, he admits.
