Chase Rice is sharing his autobiographical new song, “Go Down Singin’,” which sees the artist getting honest about his musical journey and marking the start of his next chapter as a newly independent artist. Rice previously dropped the track “Fireside” as a preview to his forthcoming independent release, the follow-up to his critically acclaimed I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell album.

Rice co-wrote Go Down Singin’ alongside Blake Pendergrass during a trip back to his roots in North Carolina, and shared with fans: “I’ll spare y’all the details, but a few months ago I decided to leave my record deal and do this thing on my own. I appreciate the love and songs Broken Bow and I did together. We had a lot of fun, and had two number ones. I made friends and met people who will always be a positive influence in my life. But now it’s time for me to ride this crazy rollercoaster we call the music industry by myself… Guess now it’s on me, if I go down at least I go down singin’.”

Rice is also currently on the road with Dierks Bentley through September, in addition to his appearances at festivals including Summerfest, Windy City Smokeout, and more.
