California rock veterans Papa Roach have released the official music video for their powerful new single, 'Wake Up Calling'.

The track, directed by Hannah Gray Hall and produced by Colin Brittain, showcases the band's more melodic side while retaining its intensity and honesty.

'Wake Up Calling' debuted at a surprise performance in Nashville two months ago and explores themes of connection, self-reckoning, and emotional dependence.

Papa Roach frontman Jacoby Shaddix commented that the song is about standing on the edge of disaster and choosing love over self-destruction.

The release follows the band's successes in 2025 with 'Even If It Kills Me' and 'Braindead', as well as their career-best touring results, performing to over one million fans on their 'Rise Of The Roach' tour.

The song was made available in late January via New Noize Records/ADA.

The release comes after Papa Roach's philanthropic efforts, presenting Campaign Against Living Miserably with a £20,000 cheque at their sold-out headline show at Wembley Arena from funds raised during their U.K.

tour last year.

The band has been advocating for mental health awareness since the release of their first hit single 'Last Resort'.

Papa Roach are two-time Grammy-nominated leaders in alternative hard rock music and have released 10 studio albums, including 'Ego Trip'.
