Alex Warrenis opening up about a deeply personal experience with his fans.
“Sometimes life don’t work out the way you like/And it hurts so bad you can’t even cry/I know that you’re up on the edge like you’re out of time,” he sings. “But it’s not too late to change your mind.”

The music video sees Warren and a man who appears to play his brother on opposite sides of a door. The singer-songwriter’s side is much darker and he leans against the door as he begs his brother “change your mind.”
He proceeds to ask his brother to “hold on” and bangs on the door for his brother to let him in — all while his brother is visibly struggling on the other side.
In the end, his brother turns the knob in attempt to open the door.
In 2022, Warren was featured as one ofPEOPLE’s emerging artists. At the time, he opened up about his tumultuous upbringing — and how that plays a role in his music.
“I’m extremely self-deprecating so I would describe my sound as a screaming goat with autotune. However, if I weren’t so hard on myself I would say my sound is just hurt. I’ve gone through a lot in my life and I’ve been hurt a lot,” said Warren, who lost his father at 9 years old and was living out of his car at one point.
“My music is my way of venting and being able to tell my story in hopes of helping people who may resonate with my stories,” added Warren.
The “Screaming Underwater” singer is also widely known for his social media presence (especially as a previousHype House member).
“‘Give You Love’ is about my struggles with trust,” he said in a press release. “In every relationship, I gave it my all and let people in just to get hurt each time. This record was a plea to my now-fiancée, hoping that when we met, what I felt was reciprocated and she wouldn’t betray or throw away my love. This was me telling her that what I’d been through makes it difficult to fully let her in but at the same time, I still had hope this would be different, which it was.”
