eaJ is back — and he’s taking us for a spin through heartbreak with his emotionally gripping new single ‘merry go round’, released via Position Music.
Following the electro-pop edge of his first 2025 single ‘ruin my life’, ‘merry go round’ plunges deeper into the chaos. It’s a bold alt-pop confessional, weaving bedroom pop’s raw intimacy with synth-heavy production, angsty indie-rock tones, and sweeping cinematic flourishes. The result? A sonic rollercoaster that captures the relentless cycle of toxic love — one that’ll rattle your headphones and echo in arenas.
This track marks another evolution for eaJ, who’s been on an unstoppable creative journey. After a transformative 2024 — including a stadium tour with Imagine Dragons, a sold-out solo tour across Asia and North America, and the soul-searching EP when the rain stopped following me— the Korean-American artist enters 2025 more fearless than ever.
The former DAY6 guitarist and vocalist has carved a space of his own, now operating from Los Angeles but still resonating strongly with fans across Asia. Countries like Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Singapore, and Taiwan remain top markets, reflecting his deep-rooted connection with the region.
eaJ’s strength lies in his openness. Whether it’s mental health or romantic chaos, his music never shies away from uncomfortable truths — and ‘merry go round’ continues that streak with unflinching honesty.
