"Made Me a Man" is one of Jackson Wang's newest songs, as its the final track off his recently released fourth album MAGICMAN 2. In the song, Wang uses the phrase “made me a man” to describe a new phase of his life he entered after he met a significant other. Wang was going through hardships, but this person pulled him out of them and made him feel better. He became focused on the relationship and prioritized it above his former vices. After getting to know his partner, he felt like he has become a different person. He feels like he doesn’t have to or no longer has to dwell on the past, because he only wants to focus on the present and what his life is like right now and instead of back then.
Wang’s distinct vocals over solemn guitar chords pull you into “Made Me a Man”. His voice is still husky even as he sings in a high octave, showing how talented he is. Also present are hints of piano chords. After the first chorus, the drums are introduced, switching the genre of the song from acoustic to easy listening pop. The guitar and piano carry over into the remainder of the track. Throughout it, elegant harmonies and melodies are combined, which add to the overall graceful sound. Wang served as one of the producers on “Made Me a Man”, which tells us that he not only has amazing vocal talent but musical talent as well.
