New Jersey singer-songwriter Steven Lemon has returned with his latest single, ‘Still Goin’, which was released on 12 June 2026 via Kipper Records. The track arrives as the latest preview of his forthcoming album The Imprisoned Mind and continues the artist’s focus on melody-driven songwriting paired with deeply personal themes.
Lemon has built his songwriting approach around influences stretching from the 1950s and 1960s through to 1980s pop, citing artists including Buddy Holly, Bobby Vee, The Everly Brothers, Bobby Vinton and Neil Sedaka as key inspirations. Across his upcoming album, he continues to explore emotional experiences that resist easy resolution, allowing feeling and storytelling to take centre stage.
Built around themes of pride, resistance and unresolved emotions, ‘Still Goin’ explores the difficult space between choosing to walk away and not being emotionally ready to let go. Fusing elements of folk, rock, and indie pop, Lemon continues to refine an aesthetic defined by melody-centric compositions and traditional frameworks, all viewed through a contemporary lens. His work harnesses the narrative power of vintage rock and roll while maintaining the raw emotional clarity found in modern songcraft.
Steven Lemon shared, “Still Goin’ is one of the final songs I wrote for my upcoming album, The Imprisoned Mind. The song explores the complicated emotions that come with leaving a relationship or situation that you’re not truly ready to leave. At its core, the song is about pride, resistance, and the struggle to move forward. Sometimes we tell ourselves we’re walking away on our terms, when underneath it all there is still hurt, confusion, and a longing for what was lost and to keep moving despite the weight of unresolved emotions. It’s about finding the strength to continue while acknowledging that some parts of us may still be holding on.”
