Dwayne Johnson has released ‘Your Dad’, a ballad from the Moana companion album ‘Moana: Voices Across The Ocean’, and said he is considering a more sustained music career. The actor’s comments matter because they signal an expansion beyond his established wrestling and film work, with country and soul music emerging as his preferred direction.

Johnson co-wrote the song with 2023 American Idol winner Iam Tongi. He previously reached number three in the UK singles chart with Wyclef Jean’s 2000 single ‘It Doesn’t Matter’, appeared on Tech N9ne’s 2021 track ‘Face Off’, and performed ‘You’re Welcome’ in the original animated Moana; he cited Sam Cooke and Merle Haggard as formative influences from his childhood.
