Country Hitmaker Chase Matthew Delivers New Single “Holdin’ It Down” While on World Tour
BLOG POST
Chase Matthew is not slowing down. The Warner Records Nashville artist releases his new single “Holdin’ It Down,” a roots-deep country track co-written with Ethan Escue, Alex Maxwell, Jordan Centers, Presley Aaron, and Evan Mayo. It’s out now.
The song is a grounded, genuine celebration of small-town life and generational values, the kind of track that doesn’t reach for metaphor when the real thing works better. Square forty fields, half-tons circled in parking lots, a way of life worth protecting. Matthew delivers it with the kind of direct conviction that made his audience pay attention in the first place, and the song holds up strong.
“Holdin’ It Down” follows Matthew’s multi-week No. 1 “Darlin’,” the breakthrough single that established him as one of country’s most compelling new voices. The momentum hasn’t let up. He’s a current iHeartRadio Award nominee for Best New Country Artist of the Year and was named one of CRS’ New Faces of 2026.
Matthew is currently on the road for his “Holdin’ It Down” World Tour, running through the U.S. and Australia this summer. The live show brings the same directness and personal weight that defines his recordings, and right now he’s building the kind of touring track record that sticks.
