Simple Plan are giants in the pop-punk scene, and rightfully so. ‘Save You’ is what I would call a pop-punk ballad. Vocalist Pierre Bouvier tells us that he wrote this song about his brother’s battle with cancer, a pretty strong subject to base a song on. I personally love this song, and even though Simple Plan appear to have changed their style slightly, they still have that special pop-punk quality about them which separates them from so many bands in the genre. Simple Plan have always been known for their catchy hooks, and this song delivers them in both the lead vocals and the backing vocals.

If you follow the lyrics of this song you can tell it’s based on something close to Pierre’s heart. Some bands can write songs that may sound like it’s based on one subject, but you can tell it’s based on something completely different. Simple Plan have written a song which means a lot to them (especially Pierre) and when you listen to it for the first time you can sense, and just know it has a strong meaning behind it. This isn’t the first time Simple Plan have written a song based upon such a strong subject, in 2005 Simple Plan released the song ‘Untitled’ which was based on certain band members friends who died in a drink related car crash.

If you love ballads, pop-punk or heart-felt songs I’d advise you strongly go and purchase this single right away. Would make the perfect Xmas gift even!!
