On Ellen, Greyson revealed he had received piano lessons for the past 3 years, but had not undergone any formal vocal training. He cited Lady Gaga as his primary inspiration, stating, "I love how she's so different, and she takes her individuality and she takes her amazing talent that she has and she makes just great songs that are catchy and make you want to dance."
Greyson was on the show on May 26, 2010 again. He performed his own song "Broken Hearts". He got 10,000 dollar from the producers of the Ellen DeGeneres Show. Also Ellen told that Greyson is the first artist on her brand new label called eleveneleven and that they will make a record together.
As of 2014, Greyson is currently in the process of writing and recording his sophomore studio album.
On March 15, 2019 Chance released his sophomore album "portraits". He, himself, calls it his debut album because he had complete creative control on this album and he feels like it's what reflects him now, as an artist.

Shut up
Greyson Chance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm sweating bullets, nervous that you'll push away
And when your eyes catch mine, I know I talk too much
So give me your two lips and baby, I'll shut up
Lying on the beach, the middle of December
I'm thinking you're too cool to even remember
My face, my hair, my eyes, my lips, and my name, hmm
I say a lot, I'm loud 'cause maybe you're the one
Your hair, your eyes, your lips, and your name, hmm, baby
I cannot hold my tongue, you give me much to say
I'm sweating bullets, nervous that you'll push away
And when your eyes catch mine, I know I talk too much
So give me your two lips and baby, I'll shut up
Ooh ooh oh baby, I'll shut up
Ooh ooh oh baby, I'll shut up
Ooh ooh oh baby, I'll shut up
(Ooh ooh oh baby, I'll shut up)
You dress in all black, the middle of the summer
You're smoother than you think, you rock that Alex Turner
Your style, your arms, wrapped in leather, makes me want you forever (oh, oh)
But I cannot break this habit, pure anxiety
Stuck here searching for some words that you might need
Maybe you don't need them, it's not what we're about
And maybe I'll just slow it down, down, down, down, down
I cannot hold my tongue, you give me much to say
I'm sweating bullets, nervous that you'll push away
And when your eyes catch mine, I know I talk too much
So give me your two lips and baby, I'll shut up
Ooh ooh oh baby, I'll shut up
Ooh ooh oh baby, I'll shut up
Ooh ooh oh baby, I'll shut up
(Ooh ooh oh baby, I'll shut up)
The lyrics of βShut Upβ by Greyson Chance are about being overwhelmed by emotions and wanting to express them to someone. The singer is so infatuated with this person that they βcannot hold [their] tongueβ and struggles to find the right words to say. The fear of being rejected causes the singer to become anxious, sweating bullets at the thought of being pushed away. However, whenever they lock eyes with the person, they feel like they talk too much and want to stop talking altogether. The chorus of the song emphasizes this desire for silence, as the singer pleads with the person to βgive [them] your two lips and baby, [they'll] shut up.β
The second verse shifts the setting to a beach in December, where the singer thinks that the person is too cool to remember anything about them. However, they are still fixated on the personβs appearance, from their hair and eyes to their style and leather jacket. Despite feeling like they are stuck in a downward spiral of anxiety, the singer cannot help but express their feelings, searching for the right words that the person might need to hear. But in the end, they wonder if perhaps silence would be the best course of action, deciding to βjust slow it down, down, down, down, down.β
Overall, βShut Upβ is a song about the desire to be heard and understood by someone that the singer holds in high regard. It also explores the fear and anxiety that can come with expressing oneself, especially when there is a risk of rejection. The lyrics suggest that sometimes, the most meaningful communication can come in the form of silence, as the singer realizes that perhaps they have been talking too much.

I cannot hold my tongue, you give me much to say
I have so much to say to you that I cannot keep quiet
I'm sweating bullets, nervous that you'll push away
I am extremely anxious that you might not want to talk to me
And when your eyes catch mine, I know I talk too much
Your gaze makes me talk even more than I should
So give me your two lips and baby, I'll shut up
Kissing you will make me stop talking endlessly
Lying on the beach, the middle of December
Despite it being winter, I am thinking of you by the beach
I'm thinking you're too cool to even remember
I feel you might be too popular to remember me
My face, my hair, my eyes, my lips, and my name, hmm
I wonder if you remember my physical features or name
Lighting up that clove, your confidence is what I want
I am attracted to your self-assured attitude
I say a lot, I'm loud 'cause maybe you're the one
I talk a lot because I think you might be my soulmate
Your hair, your eyes, your lips, and your name, hmm, baby
I keep thinking about your physical features and name
You dress in all black, the middle of the summer
You wear black clothing during the hottest season
You're smoother than you think, you rock that Alex Turner
You are cooler than you realize, and you look great with an Alex Turner vibe
Your style, your arms, wrapped in leather, makes me want you forever (oh, oh)
Your fashion sense, and the way you wear leather, make me want to be with you for eternity
But I cannot break this habit, pure anxiety
I struggle with my anxious tendency to talk too much and worry about rejection
Stuck here searching for some words that you might need
I am trying to find the right words to impress you
Maybe you don't need them, it's not what we're about
Perhaps, our relationship has nothing to do with impressing each other with words
And maybe I'll just slow it down, down, down, down, down
Maybe I should calm down and not talk so much
Ooh ooh oh baby, I'll shut up
I promise to stop talking and just enjoy the moment with you

This might sound a little weird since Iβm a few years younger than you (Iβm 18) but seriously, youβve grown so much! Iβve been following you since you were 13-14 and Iβve been a fan since then. I admit that after a while I faded out because I was busy working on my own stuff, but I just now stumbled back onto your new song and Iβm so proud of you! I hope you will continue to inspire people and be your true self like you are right now. I can say that I am one of those people that you inspired to make musicπβ€οΈ xx
