Jackman’s upcoming single “Does It Even Matter Now?” offers a raw, introspective dive into the turbulent mind of a young artist balancing ambition with self-doubt. Releasing on 18th February, the track explores that restless drive to keep creating, where every pause feels like failure, yet the rewards of recognition seem perpetually out of reach. It’s a portrait of someone caught between ego and insecurity, battling internal arguments, anxiety, and the relentless pressure of early adulthood — being broke, overlooked, and weighed down by responsibilities.
Lyrically, the song reads like a confessional diary, portraying music not just as a craft, but as a lifeline. Jackman channels isolation and frustration into an outlet for emotion and defiance, turning creativity into both armor and ammunition against self-doubt. There’s a palpable tension throughout: the push to prove oneself against the backdrop of financial strain, lack of recognition, and mental health struggles creates a momentum that feels urgent, relatable, and deeply human.
The narrative isn’t just about struggle; it’s about resilience. Amid the shadows of insecurity and anxiety, Jackman frames his art as a way to survive, reflect, and persist. The track promises to resonate with anyone who has ever wrestled with ambition, self-worth, and the quiet desperation of chasing dreams without guarantee of reward.
‘Does It Even Matter Now?’ is a piercing exploration of creative ambition and self-doubt
