<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Written by Redferrin and produced with Jake Saghi, the rock-inspired track came together while he was touring in 2025. A childhood friend had given him a Gibson Les Paul that his father painted roughly two decades earlier. This became the first song he wrote on it.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A family connection behind the sound</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Redferrin says he first played the instrument on his father&#8217;s birthday, which also fell on the day of Ozzy Osbourne&#8217;s final live performance. His father introduced him to Ozzy and Black Sabbath, giving the rock influence a personal place in the story.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“My love for rock music came from my dad introducing me to Ozzy and Black Sabbath,” Redferrin explains in the announcement.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A guitar can be a working tool and a family keepsake at the same time. That detail gives fans something specific to carry into their first listen, especially if an instrument or a favorite record connects them to somebody they miss.</p>
