Carrie Underwood has proven time and again that she's a force to be reckoned with, but 2024 brought her a particularly unexpected milestone. After years of success primarily in country music, Carrie has now made a powerful entry into the rock charts, thanks to her collaboration with the band Papa Roach. The duet, “Leave a Light On (Talk Away the Dark),” marked Underwood's first-ever No. 1 hit on both the and charts. This rock anthem, focused on mental health awareness and suicide prevention, has not only catapulted her into a new musical genre but also amplified a crucial message.
Underwood teamed up with Papa Roach’s Jacoby Shaddix to create a new version of “Leave a Light On,” a track that has already become an anthem for mental health awareness. The collaboration was driven by a shared desire to shed light on suicide prevention and support the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP). Both artists were deeply moved by the song's purpose. Shaddix, in particular, was “blown away” by Underwood’s powerful vocals and how her presence elevated the song's emotional impact.
For Carrie, this project was more than just another musical endeavor. "I’m such a huge fan of Jacoby and Papa Roach," she shared, adding that the song’s message about mental health hit close to home. She expressed her honor in being part of such an important project, especially one that will help people struggling with mental health challenges.
