What’s the meaning behind Shaboozey and Jelly Roll’s ‘Amen’?
In ‘Amen’, Shaboozey and Jelly Roll sing about feeling lost and in need of some divine assistance.
“Somebody say a prayer for me / Cause the pills ran out and I still can’t sleep,” the pair sing in the song’s chorus.

“Somebody say a prayer for me / All I’m asking for us a little mercy, Amen, ayy Amen,” the song continues.
The song is filled with imagery of hopelessness, but is musically quite upbeat as the pair show an obvious desire to find salvation.
In Shaboozey’s opening solo verse, the ‘A Bar Song (Tipsy)’ singer shares: “Them angels know they don’t look my way / I’m too gone to save.”
But Jelly Roll sings he’s “hoping I see the day / I ain’t ashamed of the man in the mirror / And the man upstairs ain’t either,” in his solo verse.
The song is a prayer for a prayer as the singers ask in the outro: “Ayy, somebody say, somebody say a prayer for me, Amen.”
Is there an ‘Amen’ music video?
Currently, ‘Amen’ does not have a music video.
However, Shaboozey and Jelly Roll do star in the song’s visualiser, which was posted to the former’s YouTube channel when the song was released.
