Papa Roach releases ‘Even if it Kills Me’

The band’s new song is available now

Papa Roach has released its new single and lyric video, “Even if it Kills Me,” via their label New Noize Records/ADA.

“Even If It Kills Me”; a welcome return of the band to their alternative hard-rock roots, debuted live last night at the band’s sold-out underplay in Berlin, which was announced last week. Today (Wed, Jan 22nd), they officially open their massive Rise of the Roach Tour, spanning Europe, The UK, and two North American legs.

The tour will see the band bring their biggest-ever production and journey deep through their vast catalog, including the 25th anniversary of their iconic breakthrough album Infest. Special guests for the global tour include Wage War in the EU and UK and Rise Against and Underoath in the US.

The band also charted in the top 15 for the first time at US Hot AC with the evergreen “Leave A Light On (Talk Away The Dark)” with duet partner Carrie Underwood. The dynamic duet was recorded in Nashville and continues the mission of the California band to raise awareness for suicide prevention and mental health awareness, alongside partner organization(s) the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), which will receive royalties generated from both artists from the song, in perpetuity. The release also raised awareness for the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline in the United States and Canada.

Last week, the track and campaign were recognized at the 2025 Clio Music Awards, reciving a Bronze award in the Social Good category.
