Riley Michaels Releases New Song “Waiting For You”
Canadian singer-songwriter Riley Michaels released his brand new single “Waiting For You” on June 12, 2025.
Riley Michaels wrote the track, which was inspired by the 1989 film “Say Anything....”.
It pays loving tribute to the music of the 1980s.
The song is the follow-up to “Story of My Life”, which was released back in February.
It was written by Riley Michael John Fyfe, and Vincent Petrunti.
Created in collaboration with bandmate and synth specialist Vincent Petrunti, the song was primarily recorded in Petrunti's condo and Michaels' home studio.
It forgoes a live drummer entirely, instead embracing the era's iconic drum machine sound to reinforce the song's throwback aesthetic.- Riley Michaels said of the song, “This song was born from my desire to create music I actually enjoy making. I love the 80s - I wasn't there, but I live for the music, the movies, the whole vibe. 'Waiting For You' reminds me of that classic movie scene where the guy's standing outside with a boombox in the rain, hoping she'll open the door. That's the energy I wanted.”
