Several medical scenes were dropped because they looked unconvincing or, like a cardiac catheterisation sequence he researched for days, became too graphic; some details were blurred.

The description says the vocal was recorded raw and unfiltered, to make the delivery feel more honest and immediate.

About this song
What Gives is a Chaisen Hale single released on 24 April 2026, about three and a half minutes long. The video begins after a medical emergency, with Chaisen rushed into a hospital abroad in the wake of the Rock for Humanity festival, and follows him through invasive tests, fear and flashes of anger, including a moment where he throws a food tray and later tries to clean it up himself. In the song he questions God rather than rejecting faith, asking why suffering keeps finding him and whether life is guided or random, and says aloud for the first time that God took everyone he loved. It ends with him wheeling over to check on a stranger who has dropped her coffee. Creator Brian Gregory says the video took 37 hours and $375, needed more traditional Photoshop work than any before it, and lost several medical scenes, among them a cardiac catheterisation, that looked unconvincing or too graphic; the vocal was left raw. Deezer labels the release as AI-generated content.
