Bilingual singer-songwriter lands viral chart success while prepping his next chapter with upcoming EP.
Jack Horton is rewriting the rules of country-pop. The bilingual, genre-blending artist has officially broken through with his latest single, “String Around My Finger”—a feel-good anthem that’s racking up momentum across streaming platforms and social media.
Released on May 2, the track has already charted on multiple platforms, hitting #8 on Instagram’s Top 50 in Canada, #32 in the U.S., and climbing to #9 on the U.S. iTunes Singer-Songwriter chart. On YouTube’s Canada Daily Shorts, it reached an impressive #11—cementing Horton’s arrival as an international contender.
“String Around My Finger” delivers irresistible energy, clean pop production, and nostalgic charm. Produced by Nate Kohrs (credits include Mark Ronson, Kylie Minogue, Philip Glass, Jason Derulo), the song merges country storytelling with pop sheen and a danceable beat that’s ready-made for weekend playlists.
“This one brings back memories of small-town parties and Friday night lights,” says Horton. “It’s about chasing something—then realizing it’s been right in front of you all along.”
Known for his ability to write and perform in both English and Japanese, Horton brings a rare cultural fluency to his craft. His previous release, The Tokyo Sessions, highlighted his bilingual artistry and international reach, shaped by years performing throughout Japan and the U.S.
With his new EP Operator on the horizon, Horton is preparing to show even more depth. While “String Around My Finger” is all joy and momentum, the EP explores personal growth, vulnerability, and the imperfect beauty of life’s journey.
From careers in law and politics to a full-circle return to music, Jack Horton is proving that chasing your calling pays off. And with this new single making waves, it’s clear—he’s just getting started.
