Tommy Richman isn’t going out like a one-hit wonder. The Virginia-bred singer who took over 2024 with “Million Dollar Baby” and “Devil Is a Lie” just teased a new track, and from the sound of it, he’s ready to make some serious noise again.
After dominating the singles charts—hitting No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100—Richman’s momentum took a hit when his debut album, Coyote, dropped with a thud in September. Strangely, the album didn’t even include his biggest hits, and it failed to land on the Billboard 200 altogether. That misstep had critics and fans questioning whether he was built to last.
New Song, New Heat
On January 30, Richman finally broke his silence, teasing a fresh track—likely titled “Actin Up”—on social media.
The production? Straight fire. A bare-bones, speaker-rattling beat with steelpan drums reminiscent of Soulja Boy’s “Crank That”, eerie piano chords, pounding 808s, and Mannie Fresh-style cowbells. It’s loud, it’s infectious, and it’s got that chaotic energy that made “Million Dollar Baby” a viral sensation.
If that alone doesn’t scream “party starter,” then Tommy Richman all but seals the deal by floating over the beat with his Bee Gees-esque falsetto, finding an infectious pocket with his high-low flow.
Lyrically, it’s a potent mix of a middle-finger to the haters (“I said I’m sick and tired, all these people sayin’ names”), trying to find true love (“I gotta stay alive for my f**in’ soulmate”), and dancefloor commands to the ladies that would make Juvenile proud (“Bend it over, break it down, back it up”*).
Is Tommy Richman Here to Stay?
One thing is clear: he’s not fading into the background quietly. After months off the radar, this track signals a comeback, and maybe even a shot at redemption. The industry is watching—if “Actin Up” delivers, Richman might just remind everyone why they were hyped about him in the first place.
