Riley Roth’s newest single, “Give Me Away,” was written for something more profound: a moment for eternity. Written as a surprise for her father on her wedding day, the song embodies the bittersweet beauty of a father letting go but not letting go in the ways that truly matter.
A lifetime of love, sacrifice, and unconditional support streams through every lyric, with Roth’s trademark warmth and sincerity shining through. Her lilting vocals, matched with a rousing melody, set “Give Me Away” up like an open letter that any father and daughter can imagine seeing themselves in. It’s not merely a song; it’s a memory immortalized in music.
Though Roth’s career has been sprinkled with peaks and valleys, signing her first record deal with the late, great producer Busbee, experiencing loss, and powering through a pandemic, she’s never lost her sense of purpose. Racking up more than 27 million career streams and two songs crossing 8 million streams each, she forges deep connections with those who find solace in her music.
For the children who danced on their dad’s feet growing up or for those planning the big day for themselves, “Give Me Away” is a song that will linger long after the final notes have faded. Prepare to cry, smile, and potentially text your dad after this.
