Two-time Grammy-nominated, Platinum-selling rock icons Papa Roach continue their mantra ‘Rise of the Roach’ with their powerful new single ‘Wake Up Calling‘, out now via New Noize Records / ADA. The track, following in the footsteps of Certified-hit rock ballads from the band’s catalogue such as ‘Scars’ and ‘Leave A Light On (Talk Away The Dark)’ showcases the melodic, emotionally vulnerable side of their songwriting, while retaining the intensity and honesty that have defined their career for over two decades.
‘Wake Up Calling’, which was debuted at an unannounced performance in Nashville to audience of artists and industry-folk at the acclaimed Whiskey Jam on Broadway last week, was produced by Colin Brittain (Linkin Park, All Time Low, A Day To Remember) and explores themes of connection, self-reckoning, and emotional dependence, delivered through soaring choruses to an impassioned crescendo breaking point.
Frontman Jacoby Shaddix shares: “‘Wake Up Calling’ is a song about standing on the edge of disaster – being pulled back from the brink, and ultimately choosing love over self destruction.” describes Shaddix. “It’s one of the most raw, emotional songs we’ve written in this new era.”
The audio release is accompanied by a lyric video and continues in a line of chart-topping successes from 2025 with ‘Even If It Kills Me’ and ‘Braindead’ (feat. Toby Morse), as well as career–best touring results, performing to over One Million fans in 2025. ‘The Rise of the Roach’ is both a moniker for the band, and more telling of its future.
