Saskatchewan Songwriter Nick Faye Explores Growth and Redemption on Dreamy New Single “Right Way”
Nick Faye is a songwriter from Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, living on Treaty 4 Territory. His new single, “Right Way,” is a deeply personal reflection on the masculine influences of his youth and their impact on his relationships – both with his partners and himself. The track is a raw yet triumphant statement of self-awareness, personal growth, and commitment to healthy love.
Blending elements of pop, rock, and country, “Right Way” pairs heartfelt storytelling with a dreamy, slow-burning instrumental that evokes the feeling of a late-night dance in a roadside saloon. The song is the third single from Faye’s forthcoming album, (Good) Love, which arrives September 26th, 2025.
“Right Way” was inspired by personal reflections on growing up in a Catholic, patriarchal, and colonial society on the Canadian Prairies. Immersed in hockey culture, where “toughness,” ego, and repressing emotions were the masculine norms, Faye recalls moments in his past where he didn’t always treat his partners with the respect and empathy they deserved.
Nick shares,
“As a young man, there were times when I mirrored the unhealthy masculine influences I was raised around, and I had to do the hard work of unlearning them. This song is about granting myself grace for my past while celebrating how far I’ve come. It’s a personal commitment to always strive to love and treat others with respect, empathy, and kindness.“
