RIAA Platinum-certified singer-songwriter Claire Rosinkranz has shared “Chronic,” the final single ahead of her sophomore album My Lover, due February 13. Stripped back and quietly devastating, the track finds Rosinkranz confronting the emotional and physical toll of chronic illness, capturing the uneasy space between wanting to heal and learning to live inside the ache. Her hushed delivery and unvarnished imagery give the song a confessional intimacy, framing exhaustion and numbness as something both isolating and strangely familiar.
“Chronic” offers a telling preview of My Lover, which Rosinkranz has described as her most introspective and cinematic work to date. The album follows a prolific stretch that included fan favorites “Kiss,” “Dancer,” “Lucy,” and “Crazy Bitch,” songs that helped solidify her reputation as one of Gen Z pop’s most emotionally fluent voices. With more than one billion global streams to her name, Rosinkranz continues to sharpen her songwriting by leaning into vulnerability rather than polish.
“I wrote ‘Chronic’ after experiencing chronic illness for the first time,” Rosinkranz said, explaining that the song was her way of translating the cycles of fatigue and feeling trapped inside her own body for people who hadn’t lived it themselves. That candor has long been her calling card, dating back to her 2020 breakout hit “Backyard Boy,” and it remains central to her evolving sound.
Rosinkranz will bring My Lover to the stage this spring on her 2026 headline tour, kicking off April 28 in Seattle and running through North America, with stops in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and Toronto.

Following a recent stint opening for Maroon 5, the tour marks a new chapter for an artist stepping fully into her next era — one that is messy, self-aware, and unafraid to confront the uncomfortable parts of falling in love with both another person and oneself.
