This was confirmed when Jack put up a video announcing his move, as well as a series of travel vlogs that would accompany it.

- The Valentine's Day Song - As part of the Sideburns Crew, Jack put up a song on Valentine's Day 2012 stating how in Valentine's Day solitude you can still be hopeful that "Cupid's arrow is on its way".
- All I Want For Christmas Is A Girlfriend - In December 2007, Jack uploaded a holiday-themed song about how much he wants a girlfriend as a Christmas present, as he feels isolated and despairing about still being single and lonley, incase you can't tell. This song showed off his ukelele skills during his solo, with his pink ukelele in the shape of a small Gibson Flying V.
- Jack City Bich - In April of 2012, Jack uploaded a very short song that mainly epitomized his work and experiences on YouTube, mentioning lots of people that are and aren't in his videos.
