Brooke Moriber Drops First Single of 2025 titled “What If I Do”:
A Powerful Anthem of Strength and Self-Worth
Written by Moriber, Claire Wyndham, and Emily Marie Shackleton with Sol Philcox-Littlefield acting as producer, “What If I Do”, at its core, is a declaration of independence and resilience, speaking directly to those who have felt trapped in emotionally abusive relationships. The track highlights the moment of realisation when one chooses self-worth over pain, finally stepping away from a harmful situation. Moriber’s striking vocals and heartfelt delivery make the song a deeply moving anthem for anyone who has struggled to put themselves first.
“‘What If I Do’ is a song about loving yourself enough to walk away from an emotionally abusive relationship. Because emotional abuse IS abuse,” Moriber explains.
With powerful lyrics throughout, the song encapsulates the internal battle between staying in a familiar yet damaging situation and embracing the unknown with courage. It’s probably her strongest vocal to date with a hard-hitting, passionate delivery. Moriber doesn’t shy away from making her statement heard and felt, hitting us right in the gut with each set of lyrics. She’s backed by awesome country guitars and drums, adding to the impact of the track.
The lyric video for “What If I Do” is exclusively available via 525media on Instagram, offering an early glimpse into the song’s poignant storytelling. Her effortless ability to showcase the story of the song certainly makes us eager to be at one of her live shows and just feel that emotional vibe that she’s bound to deliver to the audience.
A Unique Journey Through Music
A native New Yorker, Moriber has taken an unconventional path in country music. Beginning her career on Broadway, she turned to songwriting as a teenager to cope with the loss of her eyesight due to a rare eye disease. After overcoming her health struggles, Moriber set her sights on Nashville, channelling her personal experiences into deeply introspective songwriting.
Her talent has not gone unnoticed, with praise from industry insiders hailing her as a “powerhouse vocalist” (Country Swag) and a “force to be reckoned with in country music” (Celeb Secrets Country). With previous singles like “Cry Like A Girl,” “Half A Heart,” and “Little Bit Of You” gaining traction on Spotify’s New Music Friday Country playlist, Moriber has cemented herself as an artist to watch.
Beyond her solo career, Moriber also spearheads the Nashville in New York (NINY) Songwriters in the Round series, bridging the gap between the country music scenes in Nashville and NYC. The series has featured celebrated artists and songwriters, including Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee Little Anthony, rising star Charly Reynolds, and acclaimed songwriter Kara DioGuardi. Moriber also recently extended her influence with a Nashville in Denver event, proving her dedication to uniting songwriters and fans across the country.
What’s Next for Brooke Moriber?
With “What If I Do” poised to make an impact, Moriber continues to work on new music alongside top industry producers such as Todd Lombardo, Craig Alvin, and Karen Kosowski. She’s also preparing for an exciting collaboration with Emily Shackelton and Claire Wyndham, adding yet another layer to her ever-evolving artistry.
