Royal & the Serpent’s “Carry Me Home” is streaming now—an alt-pop plea filled with reverb and heart.
Out now via Atlantic Records, “Carry Me Home” is the latest release from RIAA Gold-certified artist Royal & the Serpent, and it’s already proving to be another standout in her catalog. Dreamy yet powerful, the track draws listeners into a vulnerable plea for safety and solace, all set to a glitchy, cinematic soundscape.
Opening with ghostly vocals that echo, “Father, save me from the monsters, hold me like a daughter, carry me, carry me home,” the song builds with textured synth bass and scattered beats that crescendo into a sweeping, chantable chorus. Unpredictable and emotionally rich, the track is a fitting preview of Royal’s debut album, expected later in 2025.
The new release follows the success of “Death Do Us Part,” which surpassed 1 million streams and earned spots on Billboard’s “Queer Jams of the Week” and praise from outlets like mxdwn for its chilling vocal and instrumental blend. 
Beyond the studio, Royal made waves last year with “Wasteland”, featured on the Arcane: League of Legends Season 2 soundtrack. The track’s 80M+ streams were boosted by a high-profile performance at The Game Awards 2025 alongside Twenty One Pilots and d4vd.
This summer, she hits the road with the 2025 Vans Warped Tour, marking the next chapter in a fast-climbing career already bolstered by nearly 1 billion global streams.
