Former DownBoys Records recording artist ANDRZEJ CITOWICZ has released his most personal and emotionally charged single to date, “The World I’ll Hold For You,” a stunning power ballad dedicated to his unborn son. The track serves as the lead single from his highly anticipated upcoming album “Living Room Rockstar Part 2” and acts as a special invitation to an exclusive EP that will be released soon.
The song emerged from a profound life moment when Citowicz and his wife discovered they were expecting their first child at what he describes as their “special age.”
“When we found out we were expecting, I couldn’t help but write music about this incredible journey,” Citowicz reflects. “How could I not write for him? Every word in the lyrics, every single note means more than the world to me. I’m overwhelmed with joy knowing that this song will probably become the soundtrack to my future son’s life story.”
The deeply personal ballad showcases Citowicz’s evolution as both a guitarist and songwriter, drawing inspiration from his songwriting heroes including Desmond Child and Jon Bon Jovi. “Musically, this represents a beautiful meeting between my own style and the influences that shaped me as a songwriter,” he explains. “It’s honest, it’s vulnerable, and it comes from the deepest place in my heart.”
Adding special significance to the release is the contribution of longtime collaborator and dear friend Patryk Szymanski, who has supported Citowicz’s musical journey for more than a decade. For “The World I’ll Hold For You,” Szymanski not only provided his signature bass work but also took on mixing and production duties for this special power ballad.
“I cannot be more grateful to Patryk,” Citowicz says with genuine warmth. “He’s been by my side through this incredible journey for over ten years, and having him not just play bass but also mix and produce this particular song makes it even more meaningful. His friendship and musical partnership have been invaluable gifts in my life.”
For Citowicz, having Szymanski’s involvement extends far beyond the technical aspects. “Patryk understands my musical vision like no one else,” Citowicz explains. “When I told him about this song, about what it means to me as a future father, he immediately knew how to help me capture that emotion. That’s the beauty of a friendship that spans over a decade – he doesn’t just play or produce, he helps me tell my story.”
The acclaimed guitarist, known for his distinctive style and emotional depth, admits to feeling both humbled and excited about this new chapter. “You know, I never imagined I’d be writing lullabies disguised as rock ballads,” he laughs. “But here I am, a soon-to-be dad, pouring my heart into music that I hope will mean something to my son someday. Life has a funny way of surprising you with the most beautiful gifts.”

The single serves as both a preview and special invitation to fans for the upcoming exclusive EP, which will be released soon, followed by the highly anticipated full album “Living Room Rockstar Part 2.”
“I’m incredibly grateful for this moment in my life,” Citowicz concludes. “To be able to create music that comes from such a pure place, to have friends like Patryk who support the journey, and to be preparing to welcome my son into the world – I feel blessed beyond measure. This song is my promise to him, and I can’t wait for the world to hear it.”
Looking ahead to “Living Room Rockstar Part 2,” Citowicz hints at the deeply personal nature of the upcoming collection. “This album represents a new chapter – becoming a father, reflecting on life, and finding beauty in the intimate moments. The special EP coming soon will give listeners a taste of what’s to come, but ‘The World I’ll Hold For You’ really sets the emotional tone for everything that follows. It’s going to be a journey of the heart, and I’m excited to share it with everyone who has supported my music over the years.”
