Papa Roach has released their new single "Even If It Kills Me" on January 22, 2025. The track marks a return to the band's alternative hard-rock roots and explores themes of pain, sacrifice, and support. Lyrics such as "Even if it kills me inside / Even if you burn me alive / I'd carry that pain that you don't need / I'd carry that weight that you don't see" reflect these central motifs.

The song was written by Jacoby Shaddix, Tobin Esperance, Anthony Esperance, Drew Fulk, and Andrew Goldstein. Drew Fulk and Papa Roach handled production duties, while Zakk Cervini mixed and mastered the track. WZRD BLD and Julian Gargiulo engineered the song, with Kile Odell providing additional sound design and editing.

In support of the new release, Papa Roach has announced their "Rise Of The Roach" Tour. The extensive tour covers Europe, the UK, and North America, with two legs across arenas and amphitheaters in the latter region. The European leg is already underway, and the North American portion is set to begin in March 2025, starting in Houston, Texas. The tour will make stops in various cities including Dallas, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Green Bay, and Virginia Beach before concluding in West Palm Beach, Florida on October 5th, 2025.

For the European and UK dates, Wage War will join as special guests. The US leg will feature support from Rise Against and Underoath.

The release of "Even If It Kills Me" coincides with Papa Roach's celebration of the 25th anniversary of their breakthrough album "Infest" in 2025. The band has recently experienced success with their collaboration "Leave A Light On (Talk Away The Dark)" featuring Carrie Underwood, which has amassed nearly 200 million streams worldwide. Additionally, Papa Roach has been recognized in the 2025 Clio Music Awards for their work on this collaboration.
