Chippin' In (song)

Chippin' In is a song performed by the band Samurai.

Background
Originally written and composed by Johnny Silverhand - which he sung in 2013 before his assault on Arasaka Tower, Chippin' In was part of his 2013 album A Cool Metal Fire, though in 2020 a new version with the rest of Samurai was recorded.

In 2022, Kerry Eurodyne made a cover of the song, changing the lyrics and making the melody more pop-punk, becoming an instant hit.

By 2077, the Samurai version was usually played on 107.3 Morro Rock Radio.

Samurai version
''"Refused have released a galloping new tune called "Chippin' In," but the post-hardcore barn burner isn't from the Swedish punk pioneers' upcoming effort, their expected second album since last reuniting five years ago. No, it's from the soundtrack of a new video game called Cyberpunk 2077, and it's not even technically a tune by Refused. It's being presented as a song by their musical alter-ego outfit, Samurai, a seemingly virtual band the quartet created with the developer behind the game, CD Projekt. But that doesn't mean a new Refused record isn't just around the corner. Maybe." -'' Loudwire interview

The band's collaboration with CD Projekt Red was officially revealed on 2nd of July 2019, when the entire song was uploaded for fans to hear.

Original version & Eurodyne cover
The original lyrics of the song which appear in the original Never Fade Away adventure, and the rulebook cover page of, as well as in the 2018 gameplay trailer were referred to as being sung and written by Johnny Silverhand. However, the full videogame soundtrack lists it as an Eurodyne cover of the song. Additionally, the Samurai version has different lyrics and is stated to have been released prior to Eurodyne's cover in the lore. This could have been either an overlook or an intentional change.

This version of the Samurai song was one that had not been published under any label but glimpses of it could be heard across the game trailers. A community mashup video of the available audio was published by youtube channel Carlos Aragon.

The song is performed by Damian Ukeje, who is known as a prolific singer, songwriter and composer from Poland.

In December 2020, it was published by CDPR under the album title Cyberpunk 2077: Radio, Vol. 3.
