Can't Trust Summer

"I'm really excited about this one and can't wait for it to be heard by fresh ears. As an artist, I can only hope to say what's true to my heart and never try to be anything I'm not. I hope the music that I have created and will be released to the world resonates with my fans and new listeners as it does with me."

- Chance Perez

"Can't Trust Summer" is the debut solo single by Chance Perez. It was released independently on August 27, 2021.

Background and composition
He began the composition in February 2020 with fellow co-writers, Sammy Plotkin and Stephen Rivera, in Los Angeles, California. The pre-chorus and the chorus was created, Perez commenting on it sounding like a "reggae jam". Later he met with producer Nate Merchant, which turned the song into "80s pop". He explained to Just Jared Jr., ""Can't Trust Summer" is an upbeat, 'roll your windows down' type track about that all consuming love you can't let go of. You know it's wrong, you know you're going to crash and burn, but you're so desperately infatuated that you can't say goodbye."
