Alex Warren is back with his latest single, “The Ordinary,” a love song inspired by his wife, Kouvr Annon, and their six-year-long relationship. The song is all about how love makes even the simplest moments special when you’re with the right person. With emotional lyrics and a beautiful melody, Warren has once again created a song that touches people’s hearts.
If you haven’t heard of Warren, you’re missing out on great love songs. He’s a 24-year-old American singer-songwriter who first became famous by posting his music on social media. He gained millions of followers on YouTube and TikTok, starting with covers, but overtime transitioned into writing and posting his own songs. As a result, he has built a strong fanbase over the years which helped him launch his music career. Some of his most popular songs include “Carry You Home” and “Burning Down” featuring Joe Jonas, which are part of the “You’ll be Alright, Kid” album.
Now, his newest single, “The Ordinary,” released on Feb. 7, is winning over not just his fans but also fantasy book lovers — especially readers of “Fourth Wing” by Rebecca Yarros. The song has gone viral on BookTok, where fans use it in videos featuring fan art of the “Fourth Wing” main characters, Violet Sorrengail and Xaden Riorson. Many say the song perfectly fits their love story, and it has even become the unofficial love song of the “Empyrean” series. Warren noticed its popularity and thanked BookTok in a video, even buying a copy of “Fourth Wing” at Target himself.
According to Stage Rights Magazine, “The Ordinary” has been used in hundreds of thousands of TikTok videos. It has already hit 21 million streams on Spotify and has been featured in over 32,900 TikTok videos — and those numbers keep growing.
On top of that, Warren has announced his “Cheaper Than Therapy” U.S. and Europe Tour! According to Melodic Magazine, he’ll be performing at Irving Plaza in New York City this May, so make sure to buy your tickets before they sell out.
With his honest, emotional, heart-touching lyrics, “The Ordinary” has gained thousands of fans. Moreover, its popularity on BookTok has made it more than just a song — it has become a cultural moment. And with a tour coming up, Warren’s journey to becoming a top artist in the music industry is just getting started.
