Chase Wright – “Never Loved Before”

Chase Wright discovered a whole new meaning for love and the responsibility that comes with that heavy-weighted word. As he reflects on this and the new chapter of his life, he lets his unlocked stage of maturity do the talking in his song, “Never Loved Before.” The Indiana native recently welcomed his first son, Ashur Lee Wright, with his girlfriend Brittany Norris. This life-altering experience inspired him to pen this heartfelt song with Jeffrey East and Josh Kelley, as he continues to solidify his place in country music. 

“Everyone grows up learning how to navigate relationships differently, thinking they know what love is from an early age – and I was no different. Being in a relationship and raising our son Ashur together has taught me so much about love and partnership. And I’ve learned that love runs much deeper than any emotion I’ve felt before,” reflects Wright. “Growing together… and I hope that’s something everyone can find and recognize.”
