Chase McDaniel taps into the power of vulnerability on new track “Lost Ones”

Good Scentiments artist Chase McDaniel is back and reaching straight for the heartstrings. Out today, “Lost Ones” is the deeply emotional title track from his upcoming debut album (Lost Ones drops September 19), and it’s a raw, soul-baring reminder of why McDaniel’s music continues to resonate with so many.

Wrapped in a haunting piano melody, steel guitar, and a waltz-like tempo, “Lost Ones” is McDaniel at his most introspective. Co-written with Chris LaCorte and Josh Miller, the track explores the quiet pain people carry and the invisible battles they fight every day. “They come outta nowhere from all around / hurting so loud but they don’t make a sound,” he sings, giving voice to the broken, the overlooked, and those just trying to hold on.

But “Lost Ones” doesn’t dwell in darkness. Instead, it offers hard-won hope: “Take the pain and overcome it, turn it into something.” It’s a song that reminds you you’re not alone and that sometimes, just being understood can be enough to help you keep going.

Chase McDaniel doesn’t just write songs. He writes lifelines. “Lost Ones” is yet another example of his unique ability to blend emotional depth with commercial appeal. A true Good Scentiments artist creating space for people to feel seen, heard, and healed.
