Alex Warren’s song “Ordinary” has taken 2025 by storm, becoming one of the year’s defining hits with widespread commercial success and critical attention. The ballad, noted for its slower tempo and anthemic hook, went three-times platinum and helped fast-track the 25-year-old singer-songwriter into mainstream recognition. Just four months after releasing his debut album You’ll Be Alright, Kid, Warren earned his first Grammy nomination in the Best New Artist category, a milestone he called a powerful affirmation of his musical journey.
Warren’s rise from social media personality to respected musician reflects both his artistic evolution and personal resilience. Before Ordinary, he was known as a prankster in the TikTok collective “Hype House,” but his music has struck a deeper chord with listeners. Drawing on hope and urgency in his songwriting, Warren says the recognition has helped validate his career and inspire others, and now he’s looking ahead to performing and competing at the 2026 Grammy Awards.
