Sam Ryder Releases New Song “Go Steady” from BBC's “Parenthood”
British singer-songwriter Sam Ryder released the theme song “Go Steady” from the BBC nature documentary “Parenthood” on August 15, 2025.
“Parenthood” is the latest BBC One series, director Jeff Wilson and narrated by Sir David Attenborough, that documents how parents from across the animal kingdom sacrifice everything to raise their young.
Parenthood in the animal kingdom is a high-stakes game. This new series reveals the extraordinary ways animal parents help their young survive - from hunting Orcas to bed-making Orangutans to Hippos braving the African night.
The Silverback Films production currently airs in the UK every Sunday on BBC One and is also available to stream on the BBCiPlayer.
The track was written by Max Wolfgang, Sam Ryder, and Tom Howe, who also produced it.
Sam Ryder recorded the song with a 32 piece orchestra at London's iconic Abbey Road Studios.- Sam Ryder said of the song, “It's such an honour to have worked on something for Sir David Attenborough, he's an icon! Creating this piece of music was the most beautiful process, topped off by recording it live at Abbey Road Studios - it couldn't get much better. I hope everyone can see themselves in moments in this song, whichever form your parenthood takes.”

Sam Ryder will release his upcoming sophomore album “Heartland” on October 17, 2025 via independent label Artist Theory.
The album is his first LP in three years since the 2022 album “There's Nothing but Space, Man!”. It is the first release as an independent artist.
Sam Ryder said of the album, “This record is a collection of songs attempting to convey the feeling of the last couple of years. The wish is to find a connection with you no matter where you are in the world, whether it's flying high or feeling like you're the only ship out on the ocean. If you're navigating the pain of forgiveness and the weight that comes with holding onto resentment, if you've lost confidence in yourself and you're trying to find a way back to your spark, spirit and hope, this is for you. Take to the Heartland. I'm with you every step.” - source : BBC
