about

Western Canadian singer-songwriter Cheyanne Summer’s latest single, Please, evokes an
engaging blend of Dolly Parton and Faith Hill. It’s a thoughtful, exultant piano-driven tune that
showcases the fullest extent of Cheyanne’s impressive vocal range and expression.

Please, co-written by Cheyanne Summer and producer Kenton Dobrowolski, is as intense as it
is beautiful. The song embraces themes of loss and strength in equal measure, leaning on
Cheyanne’s soaring delivery to express emotion and beauty through the concise and minimal
lyrical content. Please is a remarkable example of the maxim “less is more,” where only a few
perfectly chosen words can transport the listener to a space of sadness and power
simultaneously, amplified by a voice that crosses the spectrum of emotion.

The song’s production never stands in the way of that accessible simplicity, with the hypnotic
piano arpeggio backed by little more than a subtle and supportive slide guitar, the occasional
string flourish, and a few emphatic percussion splashes. Cheyanne has all the vocal chops to
carry an entire song like Please, and the sparse soundscape delivered by Dobrowolski balances
the task of supporting her without distraction.
Please is backstopped by executive producer and recording industry veteran Roy Hamilton III,
whose credentials include acts from Nas to Michael Jackson.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
Someone told me long ago
Don’t forget yourself
When you go
And oh my child your not alone
Keep your head held high
While you roam
[Chorus]
Please...
Don’t leave me here alone
Please...
Don’t leave me here alone
[Verse 2]
And I was taught to be strong
I fought so hard to hold on
But in the end
Everybody fades away
And now I’m standing here today
To show what I’ve become
To show my face

[Chorus]
Please...
Don’t leave me here alone
Please...
Don’t leave me here alone

[Bridge]
And oh my child your not alone
Keep your head held high
While you roam

[Outro]
Please...
Don’t leave me here alone
