Alex Warren continues to rule the charts, and now Chipotle fans can hear his new album before anyone else. In an unprecedented collaboration between music and fast-food dining worlds, pop sensation Alex Warren is premiering his new album “You’ll Be Alright, Kid” today, July 17, exclusively inside nearly 4,000 Chipotle locations across the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and France.
The global listening event—set to run from 5 to 8 PM local time—marks the first time a music artist has debuted a full album in collaboration with a restaurant chain on such a massive scale. For three hours, fans dining in will get an early listen to Warren’s highly anticipated record, a day ahead of its official release on streaming platforms.
Warren, whose breakout single “Ordinary” has dominated charts this year with six weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 and a platinum certification, continues his upward trajectory with this innovative rollout. “You’ll Be Alright, Kid”, the follow-up to his emotionally charged debut “Chapter 1”, expands thematically into healing and resilience while retaining his signature vulnerable lyricism and polished pop hooks.
The collaboration taps into Warren’s long-standing affinity for the Chipotle brand. He’s not only a self-declared superfan but also recently launched the “Alex Warren Bowl”—a custom menu item introduced in April 2025. The bowl features white rice, a double portion of Chipotle’s new Chipotle Honey Chicken, fresh tomato salsa, roasted-chili corn salsa and sour cream.
“I’ve had an untraditional path to this moment in my career, and like Chipotle, I prefer to set trends, not follow them,” said Warren in a press statement. “Teaming up with Chipotle to help introduce my album to the world will allow my fans to meet up with each other and have a first listen while enjoying one of my go-to meals.”
Chipotle, which has built a reputation for curating in-restaurant playlists that elevate the dining experience, sees this as a natural evolution. “We’ve always put a lot of thought into music curation in our restaurants, so naturally they’ve become destinations for fans to dine in and discover new songs and artists,” said Chris Brandt, Chipotle’s Chief Brand Officer. “Working with a passionate superfan like Alex to premiere a new album at Chipotle taps into this fan enthusiasm and marks a unique event for the entertainment and restaurant industries.”
The album’s release follows Warren’s sold-out Cheaper Than Therapy world tour and arrives as he continues to build momentum as one of 2025’s breakout pop acts. With over 2.4 billion career streams and 53 million monthly Spotify listeners, his blend of raw songwriting and commercial appeal has positioned him firmly in the global spotlight.
“You’ll Be Alright, Kid” officially lands on all major streaming platforms July 18. Until then, fans can get their first listen—alongside a finger-licking burrito bowl—at their local Chipotle.
