NASHVILLE, TENN. (MAY 23, 2025) GRAMMY-nominated singer/songwriter Cory Asbury has penned a poignant song as an early gift for Father's Day that releases today, "Dream I Never Had." The song follows a father and son talking about dreams of the future, such as becoming a professional athlete, an astronaut, or even the President, only to realize that perhaps the greatest dream of all might be one the boy never had - fatherhood. Listen to "Dream I Never Had," now.
The spark for this song originally came from the title of the final episode of the TV series Friday Night Lights. The finale's title was "Watching a Dream Come True," and Asbury thought of the twist on words with "Watching a Dream I Never Had Come True."
 
"When little boys are growing up, their daydreams aren’t filled with babies and raising families," shares Cory Asbury. "No, they’re dreaming about playing baseball, becoming an astronaut, a firefighter, or something cool like that. Then, as they get older, meet a good woman, and settle down a little bit, they find themselves living a dream they never had as little kids. And to their surprise, it’s more glorious and fulfilling than any major league home run could ever be."
 
ABOUT CORY ASBURY: Cory Asbury is a singer-songwriter who began his musical journey in church at the age of 14. He became a full-time performer at 21. His influential album, Reckless Love (2018), topped the Billboard Christian Albums chart and earned him two Dove Awards and a GRAMMY nomination. The album's title track spent 18 weeks at No. 1, earning him accolades from Billboard, ASCAP, and BMI as Christian Song of the Year. The song has also been certified Triple Platinum by RIAA.
 
In 2019, Asbury released his follow-up album, To Love A Fool, which included the single "The Father's House," which has since been certified Gold by RIAA. After relocating to Tennessee with his family, Asbury ventured into new musical territory, incorporating traditional country sounds into his work. In 2023, he released his departure album, Pioneer, featuring songs such as “My Inheritance,” “Misunderstood,” and “These Are The Days.” Asbury and his wife reside in Tennessee with their five children, ages 15 to newborn.
