Dwayne Johnson has released a new song, 'Your Dad', from a Moana-inspired album and is considering a return to music. The ballad is part of 'Moana: Voices Across The Ocean', a companion album to the live-action remake of Disney's Moana, which was released this year.
Co-written with 2023 American Idol winner Iam Tongi, the song marks Johnson's latest musical venture. He told Rolling Stone that he is "exploring" the idea of developing a music career, having previously achieved success in professional wrestling and Hollywood.
Johnson has a history in music, featuring on Wyclef Jean's 2000 single 'It Doesn’t Matter', which reached number three in the UK singles chart. In 2021, he rapped on the track 'Face Off'. He is also known for 'You're Welcome' from the original animated Moana soundtrack, which reached number seven in the UK.
Discussing potential genres, Johnson mentioned his love for traditional country music and old-school soul, citing influences like Sam Cooke and Merle Haggard from his father's listening habits during his childhood.
