Choccy Chox is back with a brand new single titled, ‘Ones That I Love’.



The 'Something Special' hitmaker released the song on July 30.




He says what motivated the single was how often people focus on the wrong things in life.

“I felt like I needed to simplify the way we look at life, oftentimes we get carried away with what we think is important to us, like wanting the best things, where the goals and achievements we set are somehow not enough,” he said.




However, the singer says the most important thing in life is people who make us who we are.




“For me, the best things in life are the people around you, the ones that make you the person that you are today.”




Chox, real name Matthew O'Connell, says he wrote the song for the people he loves.

“So I wrote this song with my friends and family in mind and I often think we as people can all relate to spending time with the Ones That You Love,” he said.




The multi-instrumentalist, who was best known for his work with multi-award winning band GoodLuck, says he is grateful for the support he has been getting ever since he went solo.




“It always blows my mind to think that something that I have created and written in my studio can resonate with so many people,” he says.




He says the love he has been receiving has motivated him to carry on in the music business.




“As a producer and songwriter, I always try to give every bit of me in the records that I make, spending countless hours making sure a song gives off a certain emotion to that listener when they hear it is always the biggest challenge. When I hear people talk about how my music has played a role in their life, it really makes everything that I do worth it,”.
