“WINNERS” By Chandra

The British pop-rock band Chandra has released a new single, “Winners,” on June 6, 2025. It is part of their extraordinary plan to release a new single and music video every two months. Bristol-based band did not disappoint as they brought back the energy-fueled song, which combines the polished blend of pop with the grunge determination of indie rock. The song is available on YouTube, Spotify, and too.fm, enhancing Chandra’s presence internationally and providing them with the bold soundtrack to accompany their triumphs.

“Winners” radiates positivity right from the first note while also exuding uplifting guitar lines, rhythm, and an anthem that everyone can chant along to. The repetition of “We will be, we will be winners” serves not only as a catchy lyric but as an empowering phrase. It’s the kind of stadium anthem made for an arena bursting with lights but yet very central to personal struggle, aiming at overcoming adversities. Co-produced by the band and Aaron Short (noted for his previous work on Smile, Pretty, and Christmas Hugs), the production is crisp and propulsive, allowing each musical element to shine while maintaining the forward momentum of a true motivational anthem.

As with prior tracks, frontman Chandra Nair stays true to himself by openly addressing mental health, resilience, and perseverance in his verses. Life's greatest achievements often come from getting back up after every fall, and reminders like “This here journey will be legendary” demonstrate how powerful this idea is. There is nothing abstract or vague about the message “Winners.” It clearly describes the internal battle one faces during their struggle to believe in themselves despite overwhelming odds stacked against them. As always, Chandra provides a commanding vocal performance as a passionate and convicted beacon that makes every utterance feel hard-earned.

The song hovers on the borderline between pop accessibility and indie authenticity. The sonic wings of the song are Mike Paul’s guitar work, which adds layers of brightness and dynamism, while Chris Wong‘s bass lines provide a firm foundation that drives the energy forward. The song's structure features rises and falls which mirror the emotional arc of its message, adding a theatrical flair; this is not simply music but rather a narrative of triumph. This is exactly the kind of song you’d expect to hear closing a festival set or blaring from car speakers on a sunlit road trip.

Chandra differentiates from many of their contemporaries due to the purposeful storytelling the band has dedicated itself. “Winners” is not just good-sounding music; it offers a deeply important feeling. As with all of Chandra's music, it supports mental health, self-confidence, and worth issues that mentally burden people every day. Chandra Nair has spoken on these trends by inverting them, singing, and even speaking on the need for honesty in those words. In contrast to prevailing trends, and because of this, he’s built an audience that listens while also relating, feeling, and finding strength through his words, which is rare.

With that being said, “Winners” serves as a single more than adding another one to a growing band's catalog; it stands as an identity statement pronouncing utter purpose and unmoving perseverance. One more time, they’ve proven powerful resonance during emotional evocation synergically with sound. Every release furthers juxtaposition carving out domains where weakness transforms into fortified resilience “Winners” asserting bolder unwavering claims than previous works channeling defiance unveiling January 2024 New Year anthem staples wounding listeners silence embracing sounds life always deserving daring love saying join fight streaming For put reminder slack unified essence winning spirit fighting losing notion endlessly We. Shout-out to Chandra for continuing to push boundaries in pop-rock with honesty, heart, and some seriously epic hooks.
