Carrie Underwood partnered with Papa Roach to record a new version of “Leave a Light On (Talk Away the Dark), to help raise awareness for mental health and suicide prevention. On Friday (August 2), Underwood and Papa Roach released their updated take on Papa Roach’s 2023 benefit single, which was recorded in Nashville. “We were humbled that Carrie was open to our mission, and hearing the power of Carrie’s voice in that recording session we were blown away,” said Papa Roach frontman Jacoby Shaddix. “Not only is her vocal ability unequaled, but the impact of her voice brings a new meaning to our cause and will help people all over the globe.”

“I’m such a huge fan of Jacoby and Papa Roach and was honored to be invited to record ‘Leave a Light On’ with them,” Underwood said. “It’s a beautiful song and the message behind it and the band’s mission to shine a light on suicide prevention and mental health awareness has never been more important.” Royalties from the track will benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
