Bryan Rice: “I finally dare to release a love song again.”
After several years of writing songs about hope, unity, and responsibility, Bryan Rice is now ready to release what he calls an energetic “Heated Rivalry kind-of love song.”
His new single “I’m In” is an intense love song about that overwhelming, undeniable – and forbidden – kind of falling in love. The kind you can’t control. The kind you’re not supposed to have, yet it turns everything upside down anyway.
“I’ve actually felt a sense of shame about writing love songs over the past 4–5 years. In a world shaped by war, division, and increasingly polarised political currents, it felt wrong – almost irrelevant.”
But something has changed.
Inspired by the cultural waves on everyone’s lips in 2026 – including Bad Bunny’s words, “The only thing more powerful than hate is love,” and the stories told in “Heated Rivalry” – Bryan Rice has found his way back to love as perhaps the strongest counterforce to everything negative.
“That series hit me, because it portrays exactly the kind of love I’ve known myself. The kind you don’t dare to shout from the rooftops.”
The story is also deeply personal.
“I’ve lived through a time when my love wasn’t open or honest. I was new to the industry, and there was a clear sense that this wasn’t something I could carry as a pop artist – so it was hidden. I didn’t dare live it openly. And I regret that today. I could have been a role model, and I think I lost some of the magic of falling in love because it had to be kept secret. Many LGBTQ+ people hide it to fit in. Others do it to avoid being met with hate. Sadly, that is still the reality for far too many.”
“I’m In” is therefore more than a love song. It is a choice. A statement. And a declaration of love that is no longer held back.
“I can feel that we are coming together around real, grand, diverse, and honest love as a counterbalance to everything that divides us. This song is for everyone who doesn’t dare.”
“I’m In” will be released on May 8th, 2026, on all streaming platforms.
