“Big Big Dreams” - Jay Putty

Jay Putty doesn’t just write songs; he writes reminders. The kind you scribble on the fridge, tape to the bathroom mirror, or mutter under your breath on the rough days to keep yourself moving. His new single Big Big Dreams (out September 26, 2025) is exactly that kind of reminder—a tender, sweeping anthem about grief and resilience.
The track was born in the shadow of profound loss. Over the past three years, Putty has said goodbye to his father, his grandmother, and a close friend. That kind of grief could silence anyone, but instead, it fueled this song. What’s remarkable is the way Big Big Dreams refuses to stay buried in sorrow. Instead, it rises, slowly and steadily, toward light. At its heart is a mantra that feels universal: take life “one step at a time.” It’s simple. It’s steady. It’s the kind of phrase that can carry you when you don’t know how to carry yourself.
Sonically, the song mirrors its message. It starts close, intimate, like someone pulling up a chair to speak quietly across a kitchen table. Then, it expands—layered instrumentation, soaring melodies, and a cinematic scope that conjures images of big skies, winding roads, and the soft blur of headlights cutting through the night. It’s the kind of track that begs to soundtrack a road trip scene, or that climactic movie moment when the protagonist decides to keep going after everything seems lost. You can almost see the visuals while you listen: mountains in the distance, oceans stretching wide, maybe even a quiet campfire under the stars.
This widescreen emotionality isn’t new for Putty. He’s become a sought-after voice in the sync world, with songs landing in film, TV, and brand campaigns. Big Big Dreams feels tailor-made for that realm—not in a contrived way, but because Putty has a knack for writing songs that are both deeply personal and immediately universal. His lyrics are rooted in his own scars, yet they somehow manage to fit perfectly over other people’s stories too.

The single builds on the momentum of his Mountains and Valleys EP and the recent If We Go Down, both of which showcased his ability to hold tenderness and resilience in the same breath. He’s already caught the attention of outlets like People Magazine, Billboard, and Rolling Stone India—and this track feels like another step toward cementing his role as a songwriter who doesn’t just process pain, but transforms it into something healing.
Putty’s own story makes the song hit even harder. A small-town Indiana kid turned Nashville artist, he’s walked through fire—literally, surviving a devastating house fire—and endured losses that would hollow anyone out. But instead of shutting down, he’s kept building. His music is proof that even in the wreckage, you can still find something worth holding onto, worth dreaming about.
Big Big Dreams isn’t just a single. It’s an offering. It’s a hand reaching out in the dark saying, “Hey, you’re not alone. We’ll get there, step by step.” And honestly, in a world this heavy, that might be the most important kind of song we can have.
