"Fix" is a song recorded by American country pop artist Chris Lane for his 2015 extended play of the same name. It was released to digital retailers through Big Loud Records on October 30, 2015 as the record's lead single.[1] It is also included on his second studio album, Girl Problems, which was released on August 5, 2016. The song was written by Sarah Buxton, Jesse Frasure, and Abe Stoklasa and produced by Joey Moi.[2]
Background
"Fix" was written in February 2015 with the intention of co-writer Abe Soklasa recording it for his own album. However, after the song was pitched to publishers, the newly-formed independent label Big Loud Records' manager-partner Seth England optioned the song for the label's flagship artist Chris Lane.[3] The song was "countrified" for Lane, including lyrical changes such as the censoring of "good shit," though it retained some of the dance music and blue-eyed soul influences of the demo.[3]
The song, released in October 2015, is the first release by Big Loud Records which was formed in the summer of 2015.[4] Chris Lane performed the song at the Grand Ole Opry on February 20, 2016.[5]
Commercial performance
The song first debuted on the Country Airplay chart in December 2015 at No. 50,[6] then debuted on the Hot Country Songs at No. 44 two weeks later.[7] The song reached No. 1 on the Country Airplay chart in August 2016, which is the first No. 1 on the chart for Chris Lane.[4] The song has sold 285,000 copies in the US as of August 2016.[8]
Music video
The accompanying music video was directed by TK McKamy and premiered January 6, 2016.[9]
