💔🎤 RILEY GREEN DELIVERS HEARTBREAK IN NEW SONG ‘MY WAY’ — JUST AS HE PREPARES FOR MAJOR CBS ACTING DEBUT Riley Green is hitting fans from two directions at once. While excitement builds for his upcoming acting debut on CBS’ Marshals, the country star has just released My Way — a deeply emotional new song that’s already leaving listeners shaken. What many expected to be another strong release has instead struck a far more personal chord, with fans saying the lyrics feel raw, vulnerable, and impossible to ignore. At the same time, his jump to television marks a major new chapter that few saw coming this soon. Now, supporters are asking whether this is the biggest turning point of Riley’s career yet.

Green will also perform the track on the show as his character Garrett later this season.

Riley Green longs for the kind of love he once had in his brand new song, “My Way.”

The self-written track arrives just ahead of Green’s highly anticipated acting debut on CBS’ Marshals. He will first introduce his character Garrett on the Sunday, April 19 episode, and later in the season, on April 26, he will perform the song on the show as Garrett.

Fans in Australia got an early preview of the song during his recent run of shows down under, and many others may remember him teasing it on social media last year.

“My Way” finds the country star crooning about an ex, openly admitting that if he had it “My Way,” he’d be back with her. Throughout the song, he paints a vivid picture in listeners’ minds of what he wishes things still looked like, from watching her brown eyes turn to hazel on the front porch swing, to losing feeling in his arm because she fell asleep on him on the living room couch.

“You’d call me up and say, ‘I need you now/ And I can’t go another day’/ I’d say, ‘You’re all I ever think about/ Now I’d give anything to see your face’/ You’d say, ‘I miss you’/ I’d say, ‘I don’t know how much more I can take’/ You’d say, ‘I’m on my way’/ If I had it my way,” he sings on the chorus.

Honestly, the song is heartbreaking in its honesty. It captures the pain of missing someone so deeply while realizing you have no control over the situation and cannot fix it. Green’s vocals deliver that raw emotion perfectly, while the simple, understated production only deepens the song’s heartfelt feel.

Simply put, this is Riley Green at his best.

The Alabama native wrote the song entirely on his own, following the self-penned chart-toppers “Worst Way” and “Don’t Mind If I Do.”

Riley Green is currently nominated for Male Artist of the Year at the upcoming ACM Awards. He’s also competing for Album of the Year with Don’t Mind If I Do (Deluxe), Music Event of the Year for “Don’t Mind If I Do” featuring Ella Langley, and Artist-Songwriter of the Year.

His Cowboy As It Gets Tour launched with sold-out shows in Australia. This week, he’s bringing the tour to the States with a sold-out stop in Southaven, MS, and his first-ever headlining show at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, which sold out ahead of Saturday’s performance.

With more appearances planned across the U.S., including a performance at Stagecoach and the first-ever Country Splash in Cabo, 2026 is shaping up to be another massive year for Riley Green.
