Chase McDaniel has released the music video for his latest release ‘Lost Ones', the title track from his upcoming debut album.
The video is directed by frequent collaborator Robby Stevens. It tells a raw, relatable, and all too real story. After losing his brother to depression, the main character quickly begins to lose himself. Left with only a suicide note and his brother’s lighter, he can’t get the light to ignite no matter how hard he tries while drowning his own pain in alcohol.
In between, McDaniel performs in the clearing of a forest illuminated by flickering and flashing lamps. The intensity of his countenance throws off just as much heat in its own way. The clip threads together footage of fellow “Lost Ones” who’ve scrawled their respective struggles on paper like “Lost, Broken, + Addicted,” “Attempted Suicide,” and “Cheated on, Left, + Divorced by 26.” Dawn breaks by the end, and we hear McDaniel ask, “Hey man, you need a light?” Catching fire finally, McDaniel reminds, “Sometimes, all you need is a little spark.”
After displaying the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, a heartfelt message appears on the screen, “Lost one, you are not alone.” This not only embodies the album’s core theme of transforming pain into purpose and alchemizing hurt into healing but introduces the heart of McDaniel’s brand-new Lost Ones Fan Club as well.
‘Lost Ones', the album, is released on 19th September 2025 via Big Machine Records. You can pre-save/pre-add now.
