This song turns the idea of winning big into a sharp, ironic story about false victories in love. Built around the catchy “Jackpot, yeah! yeah!” hook, it shows how what seems like a glittering prize can quickly prove hollow. The verses highlight someone chasing after a romance that sparkles on the surface but hides cracks beneath. The pre-chorus warns that not everything bright and shiny is built to last, while the chorus hits hard with its anthem-like repetition, revealing the “jackpot” as fool’s gold. The bridge deepens the theme, admitting the singer once fell for the same illusion, but now sees through the polish and embraces freedom. By the final chorus and outro, the message is clear: while others may still cling to hollow glitter, the singer has already walked away, stronger and wiser. With playful irony, driving rhythm, and a punchy hook, the track captures both the sting of deception and the empowerment of starting over fresh.

[Chorus]
Jackpot, yeah! yeah! You think you’ve got it all,
The thrill, the shine, standing tall.
Jackpot, yeah! yeah! You’ve found your prize,
But look again, it’s just disguise.
So hold tight, don’t let it drop,
When truth seeps in, no prize on top.
Jackpot, yeah! yeah! That fool’s gold heart,
While I’m already on my fresh start.
[Verse]
There's someone out there with my old flame,
Laughing loud, playing the same game,
Hand in hand like they’re the one,
Blind to what’s already done.
[Pre-Chorus]
You think it's gold, glitter and bright,
But some treasures fade overnight.
[Chorus]
Jackpot, yeah! yeah! You think you’ve got it all,
The thrill, the shine, standing tall.
Jackpot, yeah! yeah! You’ve found your prize,
But look again, it’s just disguise.
So hold tight, don’t let it drop,
When truth seeps in, no prize on top.
Jackpot, yeah! yeah! That fool’s gold heart,
While I’m already on my fresh start.
[Break]
[Verse 2]
They say love’s a game, it’s high and low,
But I see now what you don’t know,
The cracks beneath, hidden from view,
You’ll find out soon, just like I knew.
[Pre-Chorus]
Wrapped up tight in a polished lie,
But glitter fades, no reason why.
[Chorus]
Jackpot, yeah! yeah! You think you’ve got it all,
The thrill, the shine, standing tall.
Jackpot, yeah! yeah! You’ve found your prize,
But look again, it’s just disguise.
So hold tight, don’t let it drop,
When truth seeps in, no prize on top.
Jackpot, yeah! yeah! That fool’s gold heart,
While I’m already on my fresh start.
[Post-Chorus]
So cheers to you and all you see,
You’ll get the truth eventually.
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Bridge]
I was fooled by the glitter too,
It looked like love, it felt like new.
But the polish fades, the shine wears thin,
Once you’re past that perfect grin.
Enjoy the prize, the thrill, the high,
Before it fades like clouds in the sky.
You’ll see soon, just wait your turn,
Every match has a chance to burn.
[Pre-Chorus]
You’re holding tight, don’t see the rust,
But all that glitters can’t hold trust.
[Final Chorus]
Jackpot, yeah! yeah! You think you’ve got it all,
The thrill, the shine, standing tall.
Jackpot, yeah! yeah! You’ve found your prize,
But look again, it’s just disguise.
So hold tight, don’t let it drop,
When truth seeps in, no prize on top.
Jackpot, yeah! yeah! That fool’s gold heart,
While I’m already on my fresh start.
[Outro]
Jackpot, yeah! yeah! You’ll see someday,
That “perfect prize” will slip away.
But I’m alright, with my clean slate,
No fool’s gold left, no twist of fate.
[Refrain]
Jackpot, yeah! yeah!
Yeah! yeah!
