"Save Me" is a song by American musician Jelly Roll,released on June 25,2020,as a single from his seventh studio album Self Medicated (2020). [1] [2] An official remix of the song with American country music singer Lainey Wilson was released on May 12,2023,as the second single from his ninth studio album Whitsitt Chapel (2023). [3]
The song was sampled on "Somebody Save Me",the third single from Eminem's 2024 album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) . [4] [5]
The music video of the song premiered on June 16,2020. In the description,Jelly Roll stated,"This one is a little bit of a curveball for me. I don't usually do these stripped down acoustic videos,but writing this song made me feel something and I felt y'all needed some insight into the more vulnerable side of the music business." [6]
In regard to his inspiration for writing the song,Jelly Roll told Apple Music:
It was the middle of the pandemic. And when I say middle of it,I mean we were spraying boxes with Lysol. And I just couldn't sit through that. I was like,"We got to work." And I was in such a dark space because of that;I knew I needed to write. My father had just died a year before. So I'm still learning how to grieve through that. And then I'm like,"We got to write. I got to get this out of me." So "Save Me" came from a really dark space. It's still really hard to sing. [7]
In a June 2024 interview with Howard Stern,Jelly Roll further revealed that inspiration for the song came from Bette Midler's song "The Rose". [8]
Jelly Roll and Lainey Wilson performed the song at the 58th Academy of Country Music Awards and later at the finale of season 21 of American Idol . [9]
