The anthem is available ahead of the Fourth of July weekend
Chase Rice delivers “Two Tone Trippin’”– a jangly, guitar-picking joyride that captures the heart of summer and the spirit of a classic American truck. Featuring fellow singer-songwriter Wyatt McCubbin, the nostalgic new single is available ahead of the Fourth of July weekend.
A feel-good celebration of freedom, young love, and the timeless charm of a two-tone pickup, “Two Tone Trippin’” takes a well-worn symbol of country storytelling and revs it up with fresh detail and classic country flair. Rice and McCubbin – who co-wrote the song with producer Oscar Charles – trade verses like old friends swapping stories on the tailgate, with a toe-tapping arrangement and vivid, boots-on-the-dash imagery.
“Wyatt, Oscar, and I were driving around Rollinsville, Colorado, and we kept noticing two-tone trucks everywhere. Oscar finally said, ‘Man, this must be where two-tones go to die.’ Then out of nowhere, he goes, ‘We should write a song called ‘Two Tone Trippin’,’” recalls Rice. “I had just bought a ‘72 two-tone Chevy, so I was all about it. I think we wrote the whole thing in about 45 minutes – no rules, not even a chorus. We just straight up had fun on this one. And everything you hear in the recording – the playing and the singing – was all one take.”
McCubbin – known for penning songs for artists including Lainey Wilson, Luke Combs, Zach Top, Cody Johnson, and more in addition to his solo career – adds a soulful layer to the track, introducing the next chapter in Rice’s career, which promises to further expand his evolution as an artist. More new music is expected later this year, as Rice continues to lean into his roots and the unfiltered storytelling that earned 2024’s independent release, Go Down Singin’ widespread critical praise.
