Jesse McCartney’s back with such a catchy hit. His new single ‘Weightless’ is breezy and the kind that you’ll play while driving to and fro. The song release follows the announcement of his tour that bears the same name.
The song describes nearly everyone’s aspirations – to feel free and light from heavy and burdensome affairs. Ever felt pushed to your limits? You’ll likely need this song on your playlist to help you lift some - if not, all - of the weight off your shoulders. From the beats of the song, ‘Weightless’ is uplifting and positive, for a subject matter usually portrayed in a negative light via other songs and forms of media – mainly to gain momentum and popularity amongst the young, who are typically innocent.
It is not immediately clear whether the song points to a romantic relationship, but there are strong indicators that ‘Weightless’ carries notes on self-reflection on a new, impressive milestone.
McCartney is known for his 2009 hit ‘Beautiful Soul’ and others like ‘Leavin’’. He co-wrote the song ‘Bleeding Love’, which showcased Leona Lewis’ vocal range and remains her signature.
Having experienced fatherhood since May 2025, McCartney’s songs will now feature a more mature sound, but without discounting music that caters to those youthful-looking fans/listeners.
McCartney has been known to craft songs that have a certain distinctive yet timeless quality to them.
To date, ‘Weightless’ has the accompanying lyric video, in which McCartney is featured singing against the backdrop that’s nature-driven. There’s yet to be an official music video, although streaming platforms like YouTube and Spotify have published the song and said lyric video.
In June 2025, he unveiled his other single ‘Trip’, in which the lyrics are a clever play of words – based on the multiple definitions the word trip has, making it a rather cheeky and sensual exploration of love and the world.
McCartney’s The Weightless Tour is set to take off in September 2025. McCartney is expected to cover 24 cities across the US.
McCartney has grown and morphed from child star to pop idol to a soulful storyteller.
A former member of a certain boyband, McCartney went solo and into other ventures such as acting.
