PREMIERE: Gobe’s “For Once in My Life” Is the Song That Hugs You Back
We don’t always know we need to heal… until something—or someone—makes it clear. In his new single “For Once in My Life,” Gobe gives us exactly that moment: the feeling when everything outside is still a mess, but something inside finally clicks into place.
From South Florida, this 26-year-old artist blends lyrics and emotions with the same skill he uses when tattooing skin. Gobe—whose name is a statement of authenticity itself: Go Be Yourself—has achieved what many chase and few find: a sound that truly reflects who he is. In “For Once in My Life,” that identity translates into a subtle, emotional, catchy track that feels like an intimate conversation.
Inspired by a connection that helped him heal, the song becomes a kind of mental reset. “'For Once in My Life’ is about finally catching a breath after being stuck in the same cycle—same clothes, same habits, same feelings. It’s that moment where everything around you still feels chaotic, but somehow, you find peace in a connection that feels real. It’s inspired by the kind of love that helps you heal, even if you didn’t think you needed it. For the first time in a while, I felt alright—and that feeling made this song write itself,” he says.
The production strips away anything unnecessary and brings what matters most to the front: his voice, his story, and his truth. It’s the kind of song that hits like fresh air, fusing rap and Gobe’s signature warmth in melodies that wrap around you like a soft blanket.
Gobe grew up between ocean waves, classic rock records, and a constant curiosity about the world around him. Much of his life unfolded on the shores of Pompano Beach, where he began chasing his sound, built from scratch in his bedroom with YouTube tutorials.
“I had to get real with myself and make music that feels like me, feels like my hometown, feels like the beach, and all of the experiences that I went through. That's when I started really taking it seriously.” — Gobe
Today, with over 2.4 million streams, a growing fan base, and a style that feels refreshingly honest, Gobe has become a key voice in South Florida’s alternative scene.
With songs like “Dripping Love,” “Sun Leaves Scars,” and “Under My Skin,” he’s shown he’s not afraid to wear his wounds—and heal them—through music. So every time you hit play on “For Once in My Life,” know that somewhere, Gobe is smiling, grateful that the song, born from his chaos, made your day just a little bit brighter.
