“CHANT” is the second single off Macklemore’s third studio album, BEN. The song features Australian artist Tones and I, and it is his comeback, anthem-like single after his 2021 collaboration with Windser on “Next Year”.
“CHANT” touches many moments from his past and his career, among which a near-death experience from overdose, a celebration of his achievements in the music world, the aims and goals he’s got for the future in which he strongly believes, and him not giving up despite all circumstances.
As seen on the cover art, on which Macklemore is writing down song titles, “CHANT” might be the opening track on the album.
“CHANT” is about the human spirit, it’s about resilience, it’s about facing fear, pushing through, and reminding yourself and the world who you really are,
Macklemore told Good Morning America. The song touches on many moments from his past and his career, among which a near-death experience from an overdose, the aims and goals he’s got for the future in which he strongly believes, and he's not giving up despite all circumstances.
“This song is a bit of a rebirth,” Macklemore tells Rolling Stone. “I wanted to challenge myself, get through moments of writer’s block, and capture the spirit of what it’s like to overcome something, push through it, and get up the next day and do it again.”
