Few things in life carry the weight, nerves, and exhilaration of a marriage proposal. The moment when hearts race, time slows down, and one question holds the power to change everything. With his latest single, “Will You Marry Me?“, Chicago-based singer-songwriter Sarantos captures this whirlwind of emotions in a heartfelt, soaring ballad that feels just as cinematic as the question itself.
Released on January 31, 2025, this track isn’t just a romantic love song—it’s an experience. Whether you’re planning to pop the question, reliving your own proposal story, or simply a sucker for a good love song, Will You Marry Me? delivers all the feels in under four minutes.
From the very first notes, the song sets the stage for something big. A soft, elegant piano melody opens the track, creating a sense of intimacy before Sarantos’ soulful, emotion-packed vocals take over. His voice carries both vulnerability and conviction, mirroring the exact emotions someone feels when they kneel down on one knee, hoping for a “yes.”
The lyrics tell the story of a relationship’s journey—from awkward first dates to the moment you realize you’ve found “the one.” There’s something refreshingly genuine about the way Sarantos crafts his words, making the song feel relatable and deeply personal. It’s not just about the moment of proposing—it’s about the love, growth, and connection that lead up to it.
Musically, Will You Marry Me? blends classic ‘80s rock influences with soft rock and pop balladry, a signature style that Sarantos has honed over the years. The production is warm, rich, and cinematic, with swelling instrumentals and emotional crescendos that build up to a chorus that feels as grand as the moment it represents.
And then there’s the music video—a visually touching companion to the song that takes viewers on a journey through love, doubt, and courage. Spoiler alert: It’s not Sarantos himself proposing—but the video beautifully encapsulates the emotions surrounding this life-changing question. It’s the kind of song that feels made for engagement videos, wedding montages, and those teary-eyed moments you’ll cherish forever.
But Will You Marry Me? isn’t just about romance—it’s about giving back. As part of his commitment to charity, Sarantos is supporting the National Healthy Marriage Resource Center (NHMRC) with this release. The NHMRC provides resources and education for couples looking to build strong and lasting relationships. By tying his music to something bigger, Sarantos once again proves that his art isn’t just about making music—it’s about making a difference.
For those unfamiliar with Sarantos, he’s a DIY music powerhouse with a work ethic unlike any other. A multi-instrumentalist, storyteller, and self-proclaimed nerd, he has released a new song, lyric video, music video, book chapter, and poem every single month—for life. His relentless creativity has earned him international iTunes chart success, features on The Young & the Restless, and over 1 million social media followers.
With Will You Marry Me?, Sarantos has crafted a song that feels timeless, emotional, and deeply personal. It’s a track that belongs on wedding playlists, in romantic moments, and in the hearts of anyone who has ever loved deeply enough to ask—or dream of being asked—that one life-changing question.
So, whether you’re thinking about proposing, reminiscing about your own love story, or just in need of a beautifully crafted love song, Will You Marry Me? is the perfect soundtrack for all of life’s most romantic moments.
Now, the only question is… Are you ready to say yes?
