State Champs Returns With New Song “Common Sense”
American pop-punk band State Champs, consisting of Derek DiScanio (vocals), Tyler Szalkowski (guitar), Ryan Scott Graham (bass) and Evan Ambrosio (drums), returned with a new song “Common Sense” on September 2, 2025 via Pure Noise Records.
The song is their first music since the 2024 self-titled album, which was released last November.
It was written by Derek DiScanio, Evan Ambrosio, Ryan Scott Graham, Tyler Szalkowski, and Anton DeLost, who also produced the track.
The band said of the song, “Common Sense brings out a slightly darker and heavier side to us while keeping the Champ's integrity strong. Lyrically, it's about completely investing yourself in someone while also being naive to the fact that you never had anything in common to begin with.”- The band dropped a music video for the song, directed by Lupe Bustos, dropped on September 16, 2025.
They said of the video, “We couldn't wait to share the video for Common Sense. This song is deeply personal to us. When we were picking a director, we knew that Lupe could bring the emotions of the song to life in a beautiful way. Thank you to Lupe Bustos for absolutely crushing this video - one of our favorite collaborators and friends forever.” - source : Apple Music
