July 10, 2026 — Today, multi-platinum, Emmy-award winning artist, podcaster and critically acclaimed songwriter Andy Grammer releases his brand new single “Best Hearts,” out now via S-Curve Records/Hollywood Records. The multi-track single also includes “Big Stupid Heart,” a companion track that further expands on the same emotional world with a fierce, bittersweet defiance of staying open-hearted in a complicated world.

From busking on the boardwalk in Santa Monica to belting songs in stadiums, Grammer has always kept his head up. But on “Best Hearts” the optimism that has long defined his music arrives with an even deeper emotional weight. The two new songs find Grammer making a case for staying open-hearted in a complicated world, not as an act of naïveté, but as one of resilience, survival and love.

“Optimism is a personality trait of mine,” says Grammer. “But as you get older and you get beaten down, it becomes a choice. Most of the greatest moments in my life have come from choosing sweetness, sincerity and love when it would be maybe easier not to.”

“Best Hearts” introduces a deeply moving new chapter for Grammer, one rooted in empathy, grief, connection and the kind of hope that can only come from knowing true sadness. The song was born through Grammer’s new podcast, Showing Up With Andy Grammer, where fans call in and share stories of people who exemplify showing up – for others, for themselves, for their communities. Grammer then writes a song in response dedicated to those nominated, creating his own act of “showing up” through music.

“Best Hearts” began with one of those stories. A mother left a voicemail for Grammer about her son, who was battling mental health struggles and receiving treatment when he chose to show up for his roommate, who was also struggling. Even in the middle of his own journey, he found the strength to comfort someone else. “Can you write a song about people who are getting crushed but still show up for others in that moment?” she asked Grammer.

That question became the emotional heartbeat of “Best Hearts,” a stirring tribute to the people who have been shattered by life and somehow still choose strength, resilience and openness. At its core is the lyric and thesis “the best hearts are broken,” a reminder that experience does not have to close us off from the world. Sometimes, it can deepen our capacity to love.

The song honors those who have “stood back up” and still choose to “stay open,” finding beauty in the idea that the people who know what it means for the world to go dark are often the ones most able to recognize and offer light.

The second track, “Big Stupid Heart,” expands on that same emotional world. Known for his life-affirming songwriting and uplifting pop lens, Grammer explores what it means to feel everything deeply while still choosing to believe in the good. 

“There’s kind of a desperation at this moment to stay true to your heart,” Grammer says of the song. “This is a war cry to myself to stay open.”

Together, “Best Hearts” and “Big Stupid Heart” offer a fierce, bittersweet defense of optimism. It is not toxic positivity, but rather a call to keep our hearts open amidst it all, even when true sadness finds its way in. The new music follows Grammer’s 2024 album Monster, which found him exploring anger, grief and emotional honesty in a bold new way, and has surpassed 600 million streams worldwide. 

In the coming months, Grammer will have the chance to share that optimism with crowds across the country. His 24-date Big Stupid Hearts summer headline tour kicks off July 25th and continues through August, followed by the fall/winter return of his celebrated solo concert experience, Greater Than Pt. II: A One Man Show, beginning November 3rd in Nashua, NH. The intimate solo run is a sequel to his fan-favorite Greater Than: A One Man Show and finds Grammer returning to the stripped-down, story-driven format that has become a signature of his live career, blending his biggest hits with candid, communal storytelling and personal moments with audience members. See full tour dates below and info at www.AndyGrammer.com.

The past year has also marked a meaningful new chapter for Grammer as a storyteller and community-builder with the launch of his podcast Showing Up With Andy Grammer. Premiering in April 2026, the weekly series expands the heart-first ethos that has long defined his music into a funny, raw and deeply human space for long-form conversation, intimate musical offerings and stories of kindness, service, creativity, resilience and connection. Each episode features Grammer in conversation with guests who model what it means to “show up,” while also spotlighting listener-nominated everyday heroes through bespoke songs written and performed live on set. Recent guests have included Hospice Nurse Julie, Derek Hough, Justin Willman, Lewis Howes, Skylar Grey, Arthur C. Brooks, Rainn Wilson, Shawn Johnson East and Andrew East, further cementing the show as a natural extension of Grammer’s mission to bring people together through honesty, optimism and heart.
