Chronicling his breakout moment, HITS recently spoke to him for an in-depth feature, going on to hail “Ordinary” as “a moist-eyed devotional love song that has propelled Warren to the verge of music stardom.”
“Ordinary” follows a breakthrough 2024 that saw Warren earn his first Billboard “Hot 100” hit with “Burning Down,” available everywhere HERE. Now boasting over 228M worldwide streams, the track proved a stratospheric sensation, rising to the top 20 at pop radio outlets nationwide while also earning 2x Gold certification in Canada and Ireland.
