Powerhouse singer-songwriter Alex Warren has released his heart-wrenching new single, “Save You A Seat” via Atlantic Records. Written by Alex and co-written with Cal Shapiro (Timeflies) and frequent collaborator Adam Yaron, who also produced the song, “Save You A Seat” is an emotionally stirring tribute to Alex’s late parents released just a few months ahead of his wedding. Resonating with listeners who have experienced loss in some capacity, the track has already received an outpouring of love across social media with over 43K creates, 16M total engagements and 170M total views. One of the teasers garnered over 2M views in just 14 hours. To accompany the new song, Alex has unveiled an equally raw and gripping performance video, which can be seen now below.
“My parents aren’t alive to see me get married, so I’m saving them an empty seat,” says Alex. “This song is extremely special to me as I’m getting married in June. It allows me to illustrate the feeling of them being there in spirit, that I can see that open seat as my wife walks down the aisle. It’s also been so cool to see the song go viral on TikTok and see everyone’s videos of the sound. A lost Mother/Father, dog or pet, child or friend. EVERYONE can relate to loss. So, I’m very excited to share this song with everyone.”
2024 is off to an exciting start for Alex who just surpassed 6.2M monthly listeners on Spotify and is currently nominated for the “Social Star Award” at this year’s iHeartRadio Music Awards’ airing on Monday, April 1 on Fox (check local listings). Last week, the acclaimed musician announced his first-ever string of East Coast headline tour dates kicking off in Providence, RI on April 24.

On TikTok, the track has accumulated over 7.5M total views, 19M total engagements, and 10K creates. Produced by Adam Yaron and co-written by Warren with Yaron and Roland Spreckley (Ava Max, BTS, Steve Aoki), the track is inspired by Alex’s previously long distance relationship with his fiancé Kouvr Annon and is joined by a spectacularly choreographed official music video.
