Power Jackson opens his new single “Keep You Safe” with catchye chant — “Dum dum da da / Dum dum the sky is fallin” — and from the first few seconds, it’s clear this one comes from the heart. His voice is steady, his tone unfussy, and every line lands with intention. This is a love song written in plain language, shaped by real-life connection, not fantasy.
Where his earlier work searched through themes like duality and healing, here he locks into something personal and steady. “Keep You Safe” feels like a vow. The lyrics are raw and direct: “I’ll never let you get hurt / for better or for worse / till my last day on earth / we ride together in that hearse.” There’s nothing vague or polished. It reads like a letter, one you’d actually send.
Power references Big Sean and Jhené Aiko — not for style points, but because they represent the kind of relationship he’s aiming for. Long-term, evolving, real. That connection to cultural figures helps place him within a certain lineage of artists who treat love as something you actively build, not just feel.
Sonically, the song leans into soft R&B melodies and clean production that lets his voice lead. There’s room to breathe in the mix, which suits the message — no need for overproduction when the words do the heavy lifting.
Power Jackson’s lived experience is always close to the surface. From his spiritual reflections to the way he connects his condition, Waardenburg Syndrome, with a deeper sense of identity, his music often feels like documentation. “Keep You Safe” continues that thread. It speaks to devotion — not just to another person, but to the act of staying present, even through fear, even through change.
This is the kind of track that plays like a memory. It stays with you not because it surprises, but because it’s honest.
