JOIN THE ANTHEM OF HOPE
Powerful protest music that speaks to the world we live in.
About For The Love Of (FTLO)
For The Love Of (FTLO) is a Minnesota singer/songwriter/musician driven by the refusal to stay quiet or to look away.
Born from frustration, conviction, and a deep love for what’s being lost, FTLO turns protest into pulse and dissent into melody. The music lives at the crossroads of grit and hope: raw emotions, urgent rhythms, and lyrics that call things out by name. It confronts power, questions narratives, and gives voice to the frustration many feel but struggle to articulate. FTLO asks the question, what are we willing to fight for, for the love of what?
FTLO comes from a place of deep care—for freedom, for truth, and for the people caught in the fallout of broken promises and shifting values. Unapologetically outspoken and emotionally charged, he tackles freedom, accountability, and the everyday cost of broken systems. This isn’t background music; it’s a rallying cry to shake rooms, spark conversations, and remind people that silence is a choice.
This is music for the fed-up, the fired-up, and the ones who still believe that art can push back.

This song wasn’t born in celebration. It came from a building frustration that the rights, freedoms and protections we once took for granted are slipping away. God Save the USA is not a rejection of patriotism. It’s a reckoning with it.
For decades, God Bless the USA stood as a promise: that if everything fell apart, we would stand up and defend our country. This song asks the harder question: what happens when our freedoms are taken away and the powerful become the oppressors?
The story behind God Save the USA is ordinary people waking up to extraordinary pressure. It’s about workers who did everything right and still lost ground. Families living with fear instead of freedom. Communities watching their rights erode while being told it’s all for their own good. It’s the sound of realizing that democracy doesn’t disappear all at once. It’s chipped away, piece by piece.
But this is not a song of surrender.
At its core, God Save the USA is about reclaiming what it means to be American. It draws a line between blind loyalty and real love for our country. The kind that demands accountability, protects the vulnerable, and remembers the people who sacrificed their lives so freedom wouldn’t belong only to the ultra-rich and powerful.
The song moves across the nation, city by city, heartland to coastline, because this moment is shared. The fear is shared. The anger is shared. And so is the responsibility.
This is a song for anyone who’s been told to stay quiet. For anyone who’s watched the rules change while the game stays rigged. For anyone who still believes that patriotism isn’t about worshiping leaders - it’s about defending our people.
God Save the USA stands up and says, if the country we love is in danger, then loving it means fighting for it. Not with hate, but with truth, solidarity, and the refusal to be erased.
This isn’t the end of the American story.
It’s still being written and we can change it for the better. This is a rallying cry that calls for all of us to come together and save the USA.
