Papa Roach have released the new song “Wake Up Calling,” the third in a series of singles from the nu-metal icons.
The song showcases the vulnerable and melodic side of the band, with Jacoby Shaddix mostly singing in a plaintive croon. The song’s bridge does get a bit heavy and takes a pop-punk turn, but you won’t find much nu-metal or rap rock here, as the Roach embrace a softer sound with religious undertones.
“‘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,” Shaddix said (via Blabbermouth). “It’s one of the most raw, emotional songs we’ve written.”

The Colin Brittain-produced track follows the band’s 2025 one-off singles “Even If It Kills Me” and “Braindead.” Although an official announcement has yet to be made, it appears Papa Roach are prepping to drop the follow-up to their most recent full-length album, 2022’s Ego Trip.
