Chase Matthew, one of Warner Music Nashville’s hottest rising stars, is hitting the accelerator with his latest release ‘Drive my Truck'. Available now, the fast-paced anthem channels the energy of ‘90s truck songs with a modern, turbocharged twist.

Written by Matthew alongside Brock Berryhill and Taylor Phillips, the song is now streaming everywhere.
The release sets the stage for Matthew’s highly anticipated third album ‘Chase,' arriving February 21. Featuring 13 tracks, including fan favourites ‘Missin' Me Missin' You' and ‘Backroads of My Mind', the album highlights Matthew’s songwriting prowess with credits on nine songs, including one solo write.
