Ryan Whyte Maloney – “Bragging Rights” Single
“‘Bragging Rights’ is a celebration of Ryan’s extraordinary talent and heart of pure gold,” says executive producer/songwriter Shirley Goines. “This song, crafted through multiple renditions, truly came to life with Ryan’s creative input. I’ll never forget the shared excitement when we finalized the track. Ryan beamed with pride. He said, ‘My two favorite people love it’—his mother and his fiancée Zana. His passion shines in every note, his voice a warm embrace around the lyrics.”
Goines continues, “In January, Ryan reached out, eager to release ‘Bragging Rights.’ ‘Let’s do it,’ I said, thrilled to kick off the New Year with this project. Tragically, his untimely passing halted our plans. Releasing this song fulfills a promise to honor my collaborator and dear friend Ryan, whose kindness and inspiration touched everyone fortunate enough to know him. I’m forever grateful for our time together and proud to share ‘Bragging Rights’ in his memory. R.I.P.”
Ray Hamilton, CEO of Merf Music Publishing, adds, “‘Bragging Rights’ is one of those rare songs that checks every commercial melody, conversational lyric, and a hook that feels radio-ready. It’s got that front porch charm with chart potential. Big respect to Shirley Goines, Ryan Whyte Maloney, Bill Eckhoff, and Jeff Stoftlar. This is the kind of song you want in your pitch folder and on repeat.”
