In a new interview with Australia's Heavy, Papa Roach frontman Jacoby Shaddix spoke about the band's efforts to break the stigma around mental health issues.

He discussed how they aim to use their platform to share personal struggles with addiction, depression, and suicidal thoughts.

According to Shaddix, "taking the darkness and turning it into light" is a core part of Papa Roach's message, and addressing mental health is crucial for healing and growth.

The band has been open about these issues since their early days, particularly with their hit single 'Last Resort'.

Their most recent single, 'Wake Up Calling', which was released in January via New Noize Records/ADA, explores themes of connection, self-reckoning, and emotional dependence.

The song debuted at a surprise performance in Nashville three months ago and was produced by Colin Brittain.

Papa Roach's music has always been intense and honest, but this new single showcases their more melodic side while still retaining their signature sound.
