There is a line in Unpretty that stops you cold: “I hate the man I used to be but he’ll always be a part of me.” Jelly Roll does not just sing this song, he confesses it. The track pulls you in slow, steady, and heavy and once you are in, it hits every bruise you thought had healed.
The lyrics are full of self-reflection and regret. Jelly sings about addiction, failure, and finally learning how to forgive yourself, if only a little. It is not clean or pretty and that is the point. There is shame, sorrow, and strength all tangled up. He shows the version of himself he used to hide and lets it breathe on the track.

People have called it “a song that feels like looking in the mirror.” The comments under the video are full of people letting go of guilt, many for the first time. “This helped me forgive the old me,” one fan wrote. Another said, “I didn’t think anyone else felt like this.” That is the power of Jelly Roll, he sings what most are scared to say.
But after the storm of Unpretty, comes the quiet ache of Save Me. It is slower, softer but no less honest. Jelly sits with the same pain, but now it is not just about the past. It is about what comes next. It is a man on his knees, not because he is weak, but because he is ready to change.
Jelly Roll – Save Me (New Unreleased Video)
With just a guitar and his voice, Save Me becomes something spiritual. You hear the cracks in every note, the tired in every word. “Somebody save me” is not just a chorus, it is a whisper from the edge and somehow, that whisper makes you feel less alone in your own battles.
Jelly Roll is not perfect and that is exactly why he connects. He shares scars, shadows, and the fight to become something better. His songs are not about the spotlight, they are about surviving long enough to stand in it. Follow Jelly Roll on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube because the next song might be the one that makes you forgive yourself.
