Background[]

Shane described, he wrote ‘My Boy’ back in 2016: “It’s inspired by a Facebook post a friend of mine’s mom had sent me that said ‘I don’t have a step-son, I have a son that was born before I met him’. I took that to a few of my friends, and I resonated with that being a step father myself, and 3 out of the 4 of us that wrote it could identify with the song somehow.”[3]

Content[]

‘My Boy’ is a ballad about the role of a stepfather and the love for his son.[4]

Music video[]

The music video was premiered on December 18, 2020, directed by Peter Zavadil. Shane plays a car mechanic, video describes a trucker who’s stepson drives his whole world, and shows how their bond slowly grows, until eventually, it’s unbreakable.[5]
