Penned by bandmates Jared Weeks and Jason Null, alongside co-writer Skidd Mills, "Baptize Me" is a musical pathway to lead singer and founder Week's years-long recovery, redemption, and return to the band. While deeply personal for the group, it is an anthem that speaks to every listener—it offers hope and determination while proving that you should never give up--and it highlights the band's ability to transcend their personal trials, grow stronger as a group, and stand the test of time, while appealing to new audiences around the globe.

Key Points: 
  • "That's what 'Baptize Me' represents - a relentless fight for self, life, treating others well, and standing for what matters.
  • Saving Abel rose to rock prominence with their widely recognized track "Addicted," which hit the airwaves in March 2008.
  • As a result, "Addicted" swiftly dominated radio, securing top positions on the Active Rock, Rock, and Modern Rock charts, while concurrently reaching an impressive No.
  • However, in recent years, he has attained sobriety and prioritized self-care--a transformative process evident in the band's latest music.
