Scott Weiland's Previously Unreleased Song "If I Could Fly" Unveiled 10 Years After His Death
Posted on: December 5th, 2025
The previously unreleased Scott Weiland song If I Could Fly has been unveiled on the 10th anniversary of the Stone Temple Pilots frontman's passing.
Released on vinyl for Black Friday Record Store Day last week, the track was made available to stream via Primary Wave/Virgin today, December 3rd, 10 years to the day that Weiland died at the young age of 48.
"To honor ten years since Scott Weiland's passing, we're releasing something truly special for the real fans," reads a Facebook post on Weiland's official page. "This is the first unheard song from Scott's archive since he left us. It is personal, raw and a reminder of the heart that ran through all his work. Scott's legacy spans Stone Temple Pilots, Velvet Revolver, a stack of awards, and more than 50 million albums sold. But it's songs like this that show why people stayed connected to him for decades. 'If I Could Fly' bridges two generations of listeners and gives back a piece of Scott that's been held close for 25 years."
The song was penned by the longtime Stone Temple Pilots singer in 2000 after the birth of his son, Noah, and balances uplifting verses of laid back acoustic guitar with a soaring rock chorus.
