Save Me (with Lainey Wilson) - Jelly Roll - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Save Me" is a song by the American musician Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord. The song was originally released on June 25, 2020, and features on Jelly Roll's studio album titled Self Medicated. The poignant ballad was penned by Jelly Roll himself, along with David Ray, and produced by the latter. The inspiration for "Save Me" stemmed from a somber phase in his life during the peak of the pandemic, which stemmed from the grief of losing his father a year earlier. Its lyrics tackle substance abuse as a coping mechanism to escape a harsh reality. Nearly three years after its initial release, on May 12, 2023, an official remix featuring American country music artist Lainey Wilson was released as the second single from Jelly Roll’s album, Whitsitt Chapel. This version garnered chart success, reaching Number 85 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Number 18 on the Hot Country Songs chart. A few months later, Jelly Roll and Lainey Wilson offered a captivating performance of "Save Me" at both the 58th Academy of Country Music Awards and the season 21 finale of American Idol.
