Irish pop artist Robert Grace releases his heartfelt new single ‘If You Were Gone’ Today, June 5th, featuring a special guest appearance from his father, Bob Grace. The release arrives ahead of a run of Irish and UK headline shows, including sold-out dates in Dublin and Kilkenny.
A moving reflection on love, family and loss, ‘If You Were Gone’ explores the often unspoken fear of losing those closest to us and the profound impact their absence would leave behind.
Robert said:
“’If You Were Gone’ is about suddenly realising how deeply we depend on our loved ones while also fearing the emptiness their absence would bring.”
One of Ireland’s fastest-rising pop artists, Robert has amassed more than 500 million streams across digital platforms and built a global audience through his emotionally resonant song writing and distinctive voice.
His double-platinum breakthrough hit ‘Fake Fine’ established him as one of Ireland’s most exciting new talents, while fan favourite ‘Not OK’ has surpassed 60 million streams worldwide. More recently, ‘Euphoria’ received major support from BBC Radio 1, earning praise from presenters including Clara Amfo and Molly King.
Robert’s recent smash hit ‘Home’, which also featured his father Bob Grace, has generated more than 10 million streams and over 400 million TikTok views while reaching the Top 40 of the UK Singles Sales Chart. With more than 3.7 million TikTok followers and a recent number one on the Irish Radio Breakers Chart with ‘Memories’, Robert continues to prove himself as one of Ireland’s most compelling contemporary pop artists.
Blending heartfelt storytelling with powerful melodies, ‘If You Were Gone’ showcases a more intimate side of Robert’s song-writing. The inclusion of Bob Grace adds an additional emotional depth to the track, highlighting the genuine family connection at the heart of the song.
