Trying to predict the course of a romantic force of nature, Warner Music Nashville’s Chase Matthew forecasts a volatile connection in “Dancing In The Rain.” Available today (12/6) across all streaming platforms and digital retailers, listen here and watch the visualizer.
The Graham Barham, Cole Miracle, Beau Bailey, and Gabe Foust-penned track arrives as a power ballad of fatal attraction, and features the conflicted thoughts of a heart on edge: “Are we crying in the storm or dancing in the rain / Going up in smoke or sparking up a flame / Is it all going to hell or heaven for a change / Are we making love or making a mistake / So tell me what's it gonna be tonight.” Feeling their temperature rise once again, the red-hot rising star knows what comes next – either an electrified night of emotionally charged heat, or a hurricane of heartbreak. And nothing in between.
Meanwhile, producer Austin Shawn and co-producer Gabe Foust help Matthew capture the increasing pressure, with a slow-building mix of lo-fi trap beats and moody electric guitars. With his low-slung Country vocal flashing like lightning, he surrenders to a love that he’s powerless to resist – and wouldn’t want to even if he could.
Fast following the new music rollout of recent releases: “Backroads Of My Mind” and “Missin’ Me Missin’ You,” while his current single “Darlin’” commands attention at Country radio, tickets for Matthew’s 2025 WORLD TOUR are on sale now. Featuring 18 headline shows stretching across multiple continents and into late spring, the milestone trek includes a bucket list billing for the Nashville, TN, native when he makes his highly anticipated hometown headline debut at the historic Ryman Auditorium on February 21, 2025.
