He first came to prominence in 2010, when he was a contestant on Survivor: Nicaragua, where he was the runner-up to Jud "Fabio" Birza.
Born in Florida, Rice was raised on a farm in Asheville, North Carolina. He attended AC Reynolds High School and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he was a linebacker on the football team, but did not pursue an NFL career due to injury.
After graduating from UNC, Rice was selected to join the Hendrick Motorsports pit crew as the rear tire carrier for Ryan Newman's Nationwide Series car. He also worked on Jimmie Johnson's Sprint Cup Series car and won two championships with the Lowe's team.
Chase Rice began playing guitar in college. He cites his father as the inspiration for his career, recalling his father saying "boy anyone can play guitar, but no one is gonna really listen to you until you start singing." He models his albums after his live show and is building his career through the performance aspect. His first studio album, Friday Nights & Sunday Mornings, was released on April 22, 2010. This 13-track album includes the first song he ever wrote/recorded, "Larger Than Life", which is about the passing of his father. This is the only full-length album Rice has released that is not available for digital purchase or streaming.
In March 2011, he released Country as Me, a six-track EP featuring his single "Buzz Back". He has received airplay as a "Highway Find" on satellite radio channel The Highway (Sirius XM). In April 2012, his Dirt Road Communion debuted at number 48 on the Billboard Country Albums chart. This album included the original recordings of "Jack Daniels and Jesus" and "How She Rolls", the latter of which has been removed from streaming and digital platforms in its original form. "Whoa" has also been removed from all digital and streaming platforms, but was never re-released leaving the current total tracks on the album at 14. "Happy Hour (Worktape)" includes a hidden track, "Kiss My Ass", which begins at the 4:31 minute mark on the song.
In July 2012, he signed with Creative Artists Agency. He was a co-writer of Florida Georgia Line's "Cruise", which topped Billboard Hot Country Songs.
In October 2013, he released Ready Set Roll, a six-song EP including the title track. The physical version of the album was released in November 2013 and included the bonus song "Jack Daniel's and Jesus". On January 29, 2014, the official "Ready Set Roll" music video premiered exclusively on CMT. The next day, the video debuted on VEVO. He partnered with Columbia Records for distribution of "Ready Set Roll" in March 2014.
On June 30, 2014, Rice released the album cover, release date, and album sequence for Ignite the Night. The full-length album was released on August 19, 2014, and included the Platinum-certified single, "Ready Set Roll".
In February 2016, Rice released "Whisper", which was intended to be the lead single from an upcoming album. The song failed to gain any traction on radio, peaking at #56 on the week of April 23, 2016, after just 3 weeks of being on the Country Airplay chart. It is currently Rice's lowest peaking single to date, only behind How She Rolls which peaked at #55 in 2013, which never received real label backing. After the disappointing chart performance of the song, Rice issued a letter to his fans regarding the single, stating "If you have listened to my music for years and want to hear more depth and meaning, I very much appreciate you, too, and your desires will also be fulfilled on this album (and truthfully, that was my goal on previous albums with songs like "Carolina Can" and "Every Song I Sing.")" He went on to mention he was influenced by Garth Brooks and Kenny Chesney. Rice then released "Everybody We Know Does", which was sent to country radio on June 24, 2016.
After "Everybody We Know Does" failed to crack the top 25, Rice left Columbia in 2017 and signed to Broken Bow Records the same year. The lead single from Rice's first album with BBR, "Three Chords and the Truth", was sent to country radio. This single was highly praised by both country fans and radio, as this was his first single to crack the Top 25 on the Country Airplay chart in 4 years.
Lambs & Lions is Rice's first album on Broken Bow Records/BMG and is also the first album released by BBR since the BMG takeover. Lambs & Lions was released on November 17, 2017.
Rice's single "Eyes on You" became his first #1 on country radio on May 6, 2019, staying at the top for two weeks. He then released the follow-up single "Lonely If You Are" on July 1, 2019.
Rice appeared on the fourth episode of season 24 of The Bachelor, performing at a private concert for bachelor Peter Weber and his date, Victoria Fuller, at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. Fuller later revealed that she had previously dated Rice.
In November 2020, Rice released the single "Drinkin' Beer. Talkin' God. Amen." featuring his long-time friends Florida Georgia Line. It is the second single from Rice's fifth studio album, The Album, which was released on May 28, 2021.
What's Your Name
Chase Rice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't stop staring at you across the room
I can see you in my truck, I can see you downtown
I can see you looking up, I can see you laying down
See you in the lights dancing to the band
Or here in my hand
So what's your name? Where you from?
What's your sign? What's your song?
I want to know what turns you on
What you wear when you get home?
Who do you call when you're alone?
Every guy in here is thinking the same thing
Girl, what's your name?
Yeah we've never spoken
And you've never met me before, I'm pretty sure
I can see you in the dark, I can see you in a dress
I can see your pretty head sleeping on my chest
I can't help it, it's out of nowhere
Oh but girl, I gotta go there
What's your name? Where you from?
What's your drink when you get drunk?
What's your sign? What's your song?
I want to know what turns you on
What you wear when you get home?
Who do you call when you're alone?
Every guy in here is thinking the same thing
Girl, what's your name?
Girl, what's your name?
I can see you in my truck, I can see you downtown
I can see you waking up, I can see you laying down
So what's your name? Where you from?
What's your drink when you get drunk?
What's your sign? What's your song?
Tell me girl, what turns you on?
What gets you down? What gets you high?
What keeps you up in the dead of night?
What I don't know about you is killing me
So girl, what's your name?
The lyrics of Chase Rice's song "What's Your Name" are pretty self-explanatory, as they revolve around the singer being captivated by a woman he sees and wanting to know everything about her. He describes how he has been watching her for a while and how he can see her in various scenarios – in his truck, in a dress, or even asleep on his chest – despite never having spoken to her before. He then proceeds to ask her a series of questions, ranging from her name, where she's from, and what she likes to drink when she gets drunk to what turns her on, what she wears at home, and who she calls when she's alone. He ends by admitting that not knowing these things about her is killing him and urging her to tell him her name.
The lyrics of "What's Your Name" are a classic example of a pickup song in which an artist tries to connect with someone they find attractive. The song's melody and upbeat tempo make it a perfect addition to any country music lover's playlist. The lyrics are relatable to people who have been in a situation where they have seen someone they are attracted to, but they haven't had the courage or opportunity to speak to them. The song's simple, yet effective lyrics and catchy tune are what make it stand out as a crowd-pleaser.
