eaJ dares listeners to fall apart, and maybe dance a little while doing it, with his latest single, “ruin my life.”
Marking his first 2025 release under Position Music, eaJ releases “ruin my life,” and it doesn’t tiptoe around feelings. It’s loud, glitchy, emotionally charged, and utterly addictive. It is undeniably an anthem for those who yearn for chaos in the name of love. And if this track is the opening act of his new era, then fans need to buckle up. Because we’re in for a wild ride.
“ruin my life” is a sonic paradox. It glistens on the surface with airy synths, catchy melodies, and glitchy production that sounds like it was built in the year 3030. But dig a little deeper, and you’ll find something darker. It’s a sensation akin to dancing amidst the wreckage of your emotional catastrophe.
The lyrics depict the tumultuous struggle between yearning for connection and protecting oneself. Noteworthy, the track isn’t just about love. It’s a confession of what it’s like to knowingly give someone the key to your downfall. It’s reckless, honest. And it’s the kind of track that makes you want to scream into your pillow one second and belt the chorus in your car the next.
That emotional tension—between openness and aural bliss— is what makes this song stand out.

eaJ ventures on a new journey
Formerly known as Jae of DAY6, eaJ has spent the past several years forging a new route, one that is vulnerable, genre-defiant, and fearlessly inventive. Now based in Los Angeles, he’s stepped fully into his own, balancing introspection with innovation at every turn.
After an incredibly busy year that included opening stadiums for Imagine Dragons, headlining a sold-out Asia tour, and releasing the EP when the rain stopped following me, eaJ approaches 2025 with confidence and purpose.
“ruin my life” is for the hopeless romantics and emotional adrenaline junkies
The magic of “ruin my life” lies in how it speaks to both the dreamers and the disillusioned. It’s for the people who fall too fast, love too hard, and never really stop hoping—even when everything’s on fire. eaJ dissects it, pokes at its bruises, and invites listeners to sit with the ache. The track feels like a whispered confession in the middle of the night, fragile and unfiltered. And the lyrics? They’re heartbreak poetry dressed in glitch-pop shimmer.
The chorus hits like a gut punch on repeat: “I bet you’d ruin my life / But I’d keep holding on so tight.” It’s the emotional equivalent of hugging a cactus— you know it hurts, but you just can’t let go. eaJ taps into that all-too-relatable space between desire and destruction, where love feels more like a risk than a reward.

In the verses, the vulnerability deepens: “I’m not sure if you love me equal / All my stupid thoughts might be lethal.” With disarming simplicity, eaJ captures the overthinking spiral of unreciprocated affection. His choice of words doesn’t romanticize pain. It lays it bare. There’s insecurity, insomnia, and the agonizing silence of a text that never comes.
The pre-chorus—”When I talk I’m so afraid / That you might find out who I am”—reveals the real twist. Maybe it’s not just about love lost but about fearing that if someone saw the real you, they’d walk away. It’s for anyone who’s ever loved with one foot out the door, scared that vulnerability is a one-way street.
eaJ has always worn his heart on his sleeve, but “ruin my life” takes emotional self-sabotage to a whole new level while masquerading as musical bliss. It’s catchy, yes. But it also lingers. Because somewhere between the bouncing beats and raw lines, you realize he’s not just writing a love song. He’s writing your late-night thoughts, too.
