It\u2019s the first single off his upcoming debut album. The single was originally supposed to drop earlier this month, but Fike pushed the release date back to show solidarity with the ongoing protests.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In an Instagram post, Fike explained, \u201c<\/span>Last week, I was supposed to put out the first song from my debut album. Instead something much more important happened. People were forced to have a conversation that\u2019s been long overdue. It doesn\u2019t feel right to release music today but it does feel right to continue this conversation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cChicken Tenders\u201d is a catchy ode to doing nothing at all with the people you care about. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cChicken tenders in my hotel, yeah \/\/ Christina\u2019s in my bed watchin\u2019 TV shows,\u201d<\/strong> <\/span>he sings cheerfully over an R&B-influenced pop beat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

The release of the single also came with a music video. The trippy visuals show him waking up in a Twin Peaks-style bedroom, walking on air, running through a room completely filled with beds and ultimately ending up in the same room he woke up in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fike first performed the song in 2019, and confirmed the song\u2019s title – along with the rest of the album tracklist – earlier this year. The album is expected to drop later this year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
