Papa Roach Releases New Single
Papa Roach have unveiled their latest single, “Even If It Kills Me,” marking their first release in three years. Listen below.
The track comes ahead of the Californian band’s official kickoff for their 2025 European tour tonight (January 22), following a sold-out performance in Berlin yesterday (21). It is released via their own label, New Noize Records/ADA.
“Is this a warning? Is this a sign?/Should I keep my mouth shut?/Let you live a lie/Cause every day/It's a dog fight/I see it pile up a mile high” barks lead singer Jacoby Shaddix in the tense opening verse.
“‘Cause I hope you know that when you’re broken, I’m broken too / If you need me, I’ll bleed for you.” he declares before the anthemic chorus: “Even if it kills me inside / Even if you burn me alive / I’ll carry the pain that you don’t need / I’ll carry the burden that you can’t see“
