Released on August 1, 2025, Dax’s Man I Used To Be is an unflinching self-portrait that highlights his personal transformation while deepening his bond with listeners. Long praised for blending emotional honesty with sharp lyricism, Dax pushes even further here, peeling back layers of his own journey with a candor that feels strikingly genuine.

The song was crafted during a six-month period of sobriety and reflection, a choice that gave him the clarity to create without pretense. By stepping back from the studio until he was ready, Dax infused the track with an authenticity that pulses through every lyric. His voice carries both the ache of past mistakes and the determination of someone intent on growth, offering a performance that is as compelling as it is vulnerable.

Sonically, Man I Used To Be walks a fine line between somber tones and uplifting momentum, mirroring the push and pull of regret against renewal. The stripped-back production highlights his storytelling, ensuring the emotion takes center stage.

With the “Lonely Dirt Road Tour” set to begin in October, the single acts as both a preview of what’s to come and an extension of Dax’s mission to build community through music. His guiding philosophy“Music for the people, spread by the people”finds its fullest expression here.

More than a release, Man I Used To Be is a statement of resilience, proof that growth often comes from confronting one’s shadows head-on. Dax isn’t just writing about change he’s embodying it, and in doing so, he hands that same courage back to his audience.
