Multi-platinum singer-songwriter Forest Blakk marked his Valentine’s Day with the release of his heartfelt new single, “Love You ‘Til Death,“ out now via Atlantic Records. Produced by Petey Martin (Kygo, Celine Dion, Alec Benjamin), the emotional ballad arrives just ahead of Blakk’s upcoming Canadian performances, where he will support Jonathan Roy in Montreal at MTELUS on February 27 and Quebec City at Le Grand Theatre on March 1. “‘Love You ‘Til Death” comes after Blakk’s The Love & Loss headline tour across North America, which followed his run supporting James Arthur across the United States and Canada.
Blakk has made a career out of soundtracking love stories, and his latest single, “Love You ‘Til Death,” is no exception. A heartfelt, anthemic ballad, the song delves deep into the devotion and fleeting nature of time.
About the song Blakk shares: “One day, you’ll meet the love of your life, and you’ll fall so helplessly in love with them that, in that moment, you’ll wish you could play God—if only for a single second—just to stretch time to its furthest reaches. But we can’t… So instead, we look into their eyes and say, I’ll ‘Love You ’Til Death.’ That’s what this song is about—an anthemic, feel-good vow for all the hopeless romantics and realists alike.”
The opening lines of the track establish a deeply personal moment, where love is not just an emotion but something imprinted in memory. “Sometimes you get a feeling deep down in your soul / You were wearing crimson lipstick, left your perfume on my clothes.”
As the song progresses, Blakk paints a picture of this love standing the test of time: “’Til our bones are old and aching, and we’re three feet in the ground / Maybe halfway up to heaven, maybe we’re still coming down.” This emphasizes that love isn’t just for the good times but is a lifelong journey, truly “til death do us part.”
The song’s sweeping melodies and deeply personal lyrics make it an instant classic for weddings, anniversaries, and anyone who has ever wished they could hold onto love just a little longer.

Love this song and lyrics for my loving wife of 42 wonderful years except now I am having to visit her every day in a memory care home with FTd dementia. She still smiles, hugs, and kisses me but can only sing with me the words to You Are My Sunshine. God bless her and all our loved ones. Thank you Forest
