San Luis Obispo, CA – November 8, 2024 – Known for his candid storytelling and introspective writing, Collington returns with his latest single, “Do You Really Love Me,” releasing this Friday, November 8, through NRT Music. This soul-searching track takes listeners on a deep dive into the questions we all carry about worth, connection, and love, following his recent single, “Talk About It,” with a distinctly more reflective tone.
Years ago, Collington recorded a rough demo of “Do You Really Love Me” that only a close circle of friends heard, and they never stopped asking him to officially release it. “This song lived in the shadows for a while, but it kept coming up in conversations with friends who wanted to hear more,” Collington shared. “So, I decided it was time to let it breathe.”
The track continues a more personal shift for the artist, who is moving beyond exclusively worship-focused songs to explore narratives of everyday life, embodying both a deep spiritual truth and an emotional journey. “I’ve always felt the tension between writing about life and faith. But I believe we’re meant to share our story, our testimony, as much as we are to sing about our faith.”
The song opens with Collington’s voice laid bare, singing, “Louder now till I hear it, and it’s clearer now, and there’s no doubt.” The verses reveal a story of vulnerability and resilience, carried by a stripped-back yet dynamic arrangement that swells with the repeated question, “Do you really love me?” As the song builds, the chorus opens up like a dialogue, pleading, “Do you really want me, ‘cause I’m calling out for more.” It’s a line that resonates with anyone who’s felt the push and pull of uncertainty, wrestling with desire, and holding onto hope.
“Do You Really Love Me” is both haunting and healing—a song that doesn’t shy away from the hard questions, even as it holds onto a spark of conviction. The track captures Collington’s skill in merging heartfelt lyrics with melodies that linger, underscoring his unique place in the Christian music landscape. Each chorus is an emotional release, a direct line to the ache and fire that many listeners may feel but can rarely express.
Collington’s “Do You Really Love Me” releases November 8 and will be available on all major streaming platforms through NRT Music.
