Callen is a singer-songwriter, artist & producer based in Nashville Tennessee. His third single of 2024 “Fake Promises” releases August 14th and we’re obsessed with this track!
“Fake Promises” is about making promises as a ritual for self motivation, but they all end up being broken. This song was inspired by a fan asking Callen to drop his next EP over and over again on his livestreams. He couldn’t help himself so he kept saying it’s coming out next month. It got so repetitive that she Calle him out on a live stream and said “Fake promises” and he immediately started writing the chorus of this song on that live stream and then finished it with a friend the next day. A few months later and he’s finally ready to share it with the world.
Everyone makes fake promises which is why this is a very relatable track. Sometimes the timelines you create don’t work out but all you can do is try. This song is giving us alt pop/grunge that I crave. The lyrics are so relatable like “I know I said be there in 10 and that was 10 minutes ago / still waiting on my clothes to dry / I should just probably give you a heads up / Incase you don’t hear from one of my friends who’s already fed up with my fake promises / Made friends with my bad habits”, and the instrumentation is so sick, especially the switch up around 3:47! Give it a listen :)
