Ben Rankin boldly begins a new chapter with "Save Your Tears," the first single from his upcoming fifth studio album, "In Memoriam," which will be released on February 27. This song, which comes out on December 5, 2025, shows Rankin at his most honest, determined, and creatively fearless.
"Save Your Tears" was made entirely in his home studio. It has the raw, personal sound of a DIY recording, but the sound is anything but small. Rankin takes the intense energy of bands like Asking Alexandria, The Devil Wears Prada, and Architects and turns it into something that is all his own. The end result is a loud mix of soaring choruses and powerful melodies that sound both familiar and brand new.
"Save Your Tears" is a statement of who you are. Rankin uses his experiences with manipulation and societal expectations to create a story that challenges the need to fit in. The song doesn't give up under that weight; instead, it encourages people to embrace who they really are. The lyrics are full of the urgency of someone pushing back against the limits that have been put on them and getting their voice back in the process.
The emotional layers in the song are what make it so interesting. There is a sense of letting go of inner conflict and a rebuilding of self-worth. It is candid, straightforward, and unafraid to address the challenging aspects of maturation. "Save Your Tears" doesn't just set the mood for "In Memoriam," it also shows that Rankin is an artist who is always changing, willing to take creative risks, and speaking from a place of truth. He wants people to not only hear her story with this release but also to see parts of their own story in it.
