Texas-born singer, songwriter, and producer Chance Peña returns with his latest single, “Tongue Tied,” marking his debut release under Columbia Records. With his signature blend of folk acoustics, indie rock textures, and soulful vulnerability, Chance delivers a raw and relatable portrait of emotional exhaustion—the moment when words run dry, connection fades, and even your deepest efforts can’t bridge the distance.
Both haunting and heartfelt, “Tongue Tied” explores the quiet devastation of trying to save something that’s already slipping away. It captures the ache of speaking your truth to someone who can no longer hear you, and the quiet surrender that follows.
The single continues Chance’s impressive streak in 2025, following three previous releases that have collectively amassed over 23 million streams. Beginning September 3, he will join The Lumineers on The Automatic World Tour, a milestone he calls “a dream come true,” having long cited the band as a major artistic influence.
Since 2015, Chance has steadily carved out a dedicated following through introspective songwriting and emotionally rich soundscapes that channel themes of growth, longing, and self-discovery. His 2023 breakthrough single, “i am not who i was,” earned over 400 million global streams and charted on Billboard’s Hot Alternative and Hot Rock lists, firmly establishing him as one of indie music’s most compelling emerging voices.
Following the 2024 release of his debut album Ever-Shifting, Continual Blossoming, Chance continues to evolve as both an artist and storyteller. He remains deeply rooted in honesty—creating music that resonates across generational lines and emotional boundaries.
