Indiana-native Chase Wright has gained momentum as a rising singer-songwriter in country music since his debut album Intertwined was released in 2021. Today, the newly engaged father unveils his new song “She Ain’t Takin’ Your Call.” Listen to the track below.
Written by Bobby Pinson, Matt Alderman, Will Weatherly and Tommy Cecil, “She Ain’t Takin’ Your Call” details the frustrations of navigating a relationship with someone whose ex refuses to let go, as Wright cooly delivers the reasons why she’s no longer taking his calls:
She’s busy sippin whiskey with me on my tab
Findin the groove she didn’t know she had
Guess it’s been a minute since she’s laughed like that
Ain’t thinkin about you at all
Looks like she’s cried all her tears
If her heart’s breakin can’t see it from here
Her lips leanin into my kiss up against the wall
That’s why she ain’t takin your call
“I don’t cut a lot of outside songs, but when I heard ‘She Ain’t Takin Your Call’ it said everything I wanted to say in a song,” shares Wright. “It told a story I’d lived in such a cool and energetic way, with an energy I loved.”

Wright most recently released the sure-to-be wedding anthem “Never Loved Before,” which he co-wrote alongside Jeffrey East and Josh Kelley. The song, produced by Jared Keim, premiered exclusively on Taste of Country and left Country Now declaring "he continues to solidify his place in country music."
Wright welcomed his son Ashur Lee with fiancé Brittany Norris in Nov. 2022, leaving the 2023 Pandora and Nash News Artist to Watch reflecting on how much that relationship and becoming a father has taught him about love and partnership. Listen to “Never Loved Before” HERE.
With his headlining Hurt No More Tour officially launched last week, Wright is set to perform 20+ dates across the U.S., including stops with Parmalee and festival plays. For additional information and to purchase tickets, visit ChaseWrightMusic.com.

About Chase Wright:
Chase Wright is doing more than make his childhood dreams come true: he’s introducing himself as a bold new Nashville artist with a freewheeling approach to genre, firm footing in relatable storytelling and soft spot for big choruses. Respect for country music’s way around a story without feeling beholden to it defines the Indiana native’s energetic songs, which rely on electric loops and pop-rock chords alongside more traditional sounds made from steel strings and wood. It’s a confident blend that belies the fact that Wright first picked up a guitar as a freshman track star at DePauw University. After graduating with a degree in economics, Wright packed his bags for Nashville, where he has since earned a publishing deal with Toby & Molly Music and signed with Morris Higham for management. 2022 was a breakout year for the rising star who was recognized by Spotify as a Hot Country Artist to Watch and named among SiriusXM’s Highway Finds class. Most recently, Wright was recognized among Pandora’s Artists to Watch 2023: Country list. Following the 2021 release of his debut album Intertwined, Wright continues to roll out new music with his latest hit “Hurt No More” available to stream everywhere now. In total, fans have streamed his music to the tune of 135 million times.
