Rock legends Papa Roach have scored their 12th career No 1 single with “Leave A Light On (Talk Away The Dark)”, which has climbed steadily at Active Rock Radio since its release in October 2023.
The band first performed “Leave A Light On” during their “The Revolutions Live Tour” in September 2024 to 250,000 people over 30 shows. In each city, the song was preceded by a PSA delivered by frontman Jacoby Shaddix, who pledged a donation to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) on behalf of each city’s attendees, culminating in a $155,000 donation at the end of the tour. The official live video was released in conjunction with the AFSP’s “Talk Away The Dark” campaign with the band pledging a perpetual royalty from the song’s use, in any manner, to the AFSP, continuing their mission to save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide. And that includes playing the video below!
“We had a passion for this song from the time we finished it over 3 years ago,” said singer Jacoby Shaddix. “When creating the set list for the final leg of the Ego Trip album cycle, we really wanted to see if the live audience would connect with “Leave A Light On” the way we did – and the best way to do that is to perform it to ten thousand fans a night! From that first show, it connected. We could see it on their faces. We instantly knew the power of this song and its ability to help ‘leave a light on’ for those who needed it most.”
“Leave A Light On (Talk Away The Dark)” is taken from the band’s 10th studio album, Ego Trip, which has accumulated over 260 million streams since its April 2022 release.
