The Canadian pop-punk band, Simple Plan has collaborated with the emerging pop star Jax on their latest track, ‘Iconic’. Jax, a young music and social media sensation with nearly 15 million TikTok followers, previously gained recognition for his top 40 hit, ‘Victoria’s Secret’, in 2022.
Speaking about the collaboration Jax said:
“I was so so so excited when Simple Plan asked me to be part of Iconic!. Pierre brought me up to his home and we had such a fun time cutting my verse and then having dinner with his beautiful family! I grew up listening to them and was trying my best not to fangirl. The boys are all ‘Icons’ and it is a dream come true to be on this song with them!”
About the song Chuck Comeau says :
“‘Iconic’ is a song about dreamers; people who have big, crazy ideas. Often, they’re told to forget about them, to be realistic, to give up on these “crazy” ambitions…
We wanted to write a song for all these dreamers and tell them they didn’t have to give up. That they should keep going, keep believing in their crazy dreams, ignore the haters, believe in themselves and their talent and use all the negative comments they hear as fuel to stay motivated and prove everyone wrong/
and Pierre Bouvier, the band’s singer, adds:
“That’s what we tried to do when we started this band in our parents’ basement 25 years ago and today we were so grateful we kept going and dreaming big. That’s also why we thought Jax was the perfect artist to join us on the song. She embodies everything « Iconic » stands for. She’s forging her own path, breaking rules and doing things her own way and it’s been cool to watch her use her platform in such a positive and inspiring way. We couldn’t be happier to be friends and have her on this song.
Simple Plan will be touring Europe in 2024 and will be stopping off in Belgium on 07 February in Antwerp at the De Roma venue. The show is already sold out, but you can sign up on the waiting list on the venue’s website.
