GRYFFIN & Chance Peña Craft a Love Letter to Resilience in “Hard Time Lover”
“Hard Time Lover” is GRYFFIN and Chance Peña’s gentle anthem of love through darkness.
There’s a quiet kind of courage in loving someone at their lowest—and GRYFFIN’s latest single “Hard Time Lover,” featuring Chance Peña, is the sound of that moment. The single, released via 10K Projects, captures a cinematic depth often missing in dance music.
Peña’s voice arrives like a whisper, vulnerable and unsure, as if letting the listener in on something sacred. GRYFFIN responds not with bombast, but with restraint. The guitar lines flutter softly. The beat rises only when it needs to. Every detail feels deliberate.
“It’s been a while since I’ve had a song that reminds me of the ‘Gravity’ era while still sounding so new and fresh,” GRYFFIN says.
It’s that emotional honesty that defines “Hard Time Lover.” It’s a song that doesn’t rush the feeling, that lives in the space between heartbreak and hope.
With the PULSE tour winding down and summer stages ahead, “Hard Time Lover” feels like the heartbeat behind the scenes. Soft, steady, unforgettable.
