General Hospital Alum Chad Duell Drops His New Single, ‘If You Need Me’
Chad Duell, who exited General Hospital last year after a 15-year run as Michael Corinthos, surprised fans this week by revealing that he was releasing music. Now, his first single,”If You Need Me,” has dropped on Spotify.
Chad Duell’s New Music Track is Released
As a recording artist, the Daytime Emmy-winning star is going by the name Duelly, which has long been his Instagram handle. He is listed in the credits of his new house music track not only as the performing artist, but as the composer and lyricist and beatmaker of “If You Need Me.”
The track clocks in at 4 minutes and 22 seconds and features Duell performing sparse lyrics over a lively, beat-driven electronic sound. “If you need me, call / Any hour, if it’s night or day / I’ll be on my way / To you,” he sings.
Duell has been keeping a low profile on social media since his departure from GH in January 2025, mostly popping online to share sweet photos of his life with partner Luana Lucci and their son, Dawson, who will turn three years old on August 30.
In late 2024, Duell shocked the soap world by announcing his decision to leave GH in an Instagram post.”This wasn’t an easy decision for me, but it feels like the right time in my life. I’m beyond grateful to [Executive Producer] Frank Valentini, the cast, crew, and everyone behind the scenes who have been like family to me throughout this amazing journey,” he wrote.
Duell subsequently opened up about his future plans when he appeared as a guest on Bradford Anderson (Spinelli) and Steve Burton’s (Jason) podcast, That’s Awesome. He explained, “Right now I’m just trying to grow in ways that maybe I feel like I’ve stifled myself… Sometimes you have to take drastic steps or make yourself feel uncomfortable to take a step. That’s kind of what I have not allowed myself to do in a long time, is to step into more of an uncomfortable situation and grow instead of just [being] comfortable and complacent. That’s the journey at this moment.”
“If You Need Me” is copyrighted by Golden Hour Records, a label based in Austin, TX. According to its profile on the music platform Bandcamp, Golden Hour Records has been “[serving] the Texas underground music folks since 1995. Catalog ranges from noise rock to ambient electronic to punk to folk. Whatever we’re into.”
