Background[edit]

Shane wrote "My Boy" in 2016. It was "inspired by a Facebook post" sent to him that read "I don't have a step-son, I have a son that was born before I met him". Shane said: "I took that to a few of my friends, and I resonated with that being a step father myself, and 3 out of the 4 of us that wrote it could identify with the song somehow."^[3] On June 15, 2022, the Recording Industry Association of America certified the song platinum.^[4]

Content[edit]

"My Boy" is a ballad about the role of a stepfather and the love for his son.^[5]

Music video[edit]

The music video premiered on December 18, 2020, directed by Peter Zavadil. Shane plays a background character (the car mechanic) who is working alongside a truck driver. He has a strong bond with and love for his stepson. Shane is also seen as a character sitting in the bleachers at the kid's ballgame. ^[6]
