Dax’s new single, “Man I Used To Be”, released on August 1st, 2025, feels like a heartfelt letter in musical form. The lyrics reflect on who he once was and the changes he made to become the man he is today, especially during a period of sobriety. This is not just another release; it marks a new chapter in his artistic journey and personal growth. Each line resonates with authenticity, drawn from lived experience. By giving himself six months alcohol-free before returning to music, Dax gained the clarity and strength needed to see life through a fresh lens. That choice makes the track more impactful, as it feels genuine and untouched by anything but truth.
Recorded in Nashville with producer Jimmy Robbins, the track captures both vulnerability and power. Its production is stripped back yet striking, allowing the lyrics to remain the focus. Dax delivers every word with raw honesty, as though speaking directly to the listener. He has said that the song was created in a state of complete clarity, and even described the recording process as carrying a “spiritual presence”. This makes the single feel less like just another track and more like a testimony of transformation.
With the upcoming “Lonely Dirt Road Tour” set for the end of October, this release sets the perfect tone for what audiences can expect live: emotion, honesty, and music that connects deeply with people. “Man I Used To Be” stands out not only as a reflection of his personal growth but also as a turning point in his artistry. In his own words, Dax believes in “music for the people, spread by the people”, and this single proves exactly that music that speaks straight to the soul.
