“Good Faith” explores love, loss, and staying grounded through life’s toughest trials
NASHVILLE, TN (April 18, 2025) - Country artist Blake Smeltz, continues to establish his place in the genre with the release of his latest single, “Good Faith.”
Sweet, powerful and relatable, the track blends tender storytelling with Smeltz’s signature raspy vocals, echoing influences like Luke Combs, Zach Bryan and Gavin Adcock, while continuing to define a voice all his own.
The single tells the story of a man looking back on a lost love, a woman named Faith, who served as a partner and a guiding light. Through vivid imagery and heartfelt lyrics, Smeltz traces the emotional terrain of their relationship, her passing, and how her memory keeps him grounded.
With lines like “I’ll stay sober, I’ll get older, I’ll keep that devil up off my shoulder / Just trying to keep this faith—good faith,” the song captures the weight of grief, the resolve of growth, and the struggle to stay true to oneself. Set against a stripped-down, soulful arrangement, Smeltz leans into real vulnerability and resilience with equal force.
‘Good Faith’ is for those who are lost but have someone, or had someone, who helped keep their head on straight,” says Smeltz. “This is not only a song that’s relatable, it tells a story that’s real.”
