British singer-songwriter Westerman has confirmed release plans for his debut album. Your Hero Is Not Dead is out in June 5 and is preceded by new song “Think I’ll Stay,” which is streaming below.
In a statement Westerman said the song is about dealing with chronic pain: "I wrote this while I was moving a lot. I was thinking about a chronic pain condition when it started. That pain is a very specific type, but I think there's an inevitable amount of pain that everyone goes through just being alive. A friend was talking to me about how they're going to be working until they're 80 years old, so what's the difference. In the song, I'm trying to say that it's worth sticking around. It's a sort of giddy affirmation of being."
Your Hero Is Not Dead follows Westerman's 2018 EP Ark and features the previously released "Blue Comanche," "Easy Money," and "Confirmation." See the album tracklist below.
