The poignantly sea-soaked classic country heartbreaker is available now
Platinum-selling, chart-topping country riser Chayce Beckham returns following his acclaimed debut album, Bad For Me, and No. 1 smash “23” with the hauntingly deep “Ocean Blue.” Rooting the lonesome groove in classic country, the poignant heartbreaker – produced by Bart Butler – is amplified by rich fiddle, striking steel guitar and timeless rhythm. The song is reminiscent of the storytelling spirit of country legends like George Strait, Merle Haggard and Johnny Cash.
Joining Warren Zeiders on his Relapse, Lies & Betrayal Tour this fall, following shows with Luke Bryan, Parker McCollum, Tyler Hubbard and more, the 2025 Grand Ole Opry NextStage artist captures the vulnerability of a breakup on this latest release, aligning feelings of sadness and longing with the vast, restless sea.
“I wrote this song last fall with Brandon Kinney and John Pierce on my tour bus,” Beckham shares. “This is one of my favorites. I love songs that sound like this, and I am very proud of how it came out and who I wrote it with. I’m excited to finally have it out in the world. This is the first of several songs I’ll be releasing, happy and sad, and I’m excited for y’all to hear them all.”
Recounting a love gone too soon, heartbreak can feel like being caught in a stormy ocean. When all that remains are the memories, those waves of sadness wash over you and a different shade of blue emerges.
