Papa Roach release a powerful new single “Wake Up Calling,” out today via New Noize Records / ADA – Listen HERE.
The track, following in the footsteps of “Scars” and “Leave A Light On (Talk Away The Dark)” shows the more melodic, emotionally vulnerable side of their songwriting, but still retains the intensity and honesty that have defined their career for over two decades.
“Wake Up Calling” debuted at a surprise performance in Nashville to an audience of artists and industry-folk at the Whiskey Jam on Broadway last week. It was produced by Colin Brittain (Linkin Park, All Time Low, A Day To Remember) and explores themes of connection, self-reckoning, and emotional dependence.
Frontman Jacoby Shaddix said: “‘Wake Up Calling’ is a song about standing on the edge of disaster – being pulled back from the brink, and ultimately choosing love over self-destruction. It’s one of the most raw, emotional songs we’ve written.”
The release is accompanied by a lyric video WATCH HERE, following their successes of 2025 with “Even If It Kills Me” and “BRAINDEAD” (feat. Toby Morse), and career–best touring results, performing to over 1 million fans on their “Rise of the Roach” tour.
Always philanthropic, the band presented Campaign Against Living Miserably with a £20,000 cheque at their sold-out headline show at Wembley Arena from funds raised during their UK tour last year.
