American Idol’s Francisco Martin latest single “Breakfast for Dinner” is about the power of love
Singer-songwriter Francisco Martin is back with his latest single “Breakfast For Dinner,” a poignant tribute to the unbreakable support and deep connection between two people in a blossoming relationship, out Friday July 7 on all digital platforms.
Showcasing his signature blend of soulful storytelling and captivating melodies, it’s the latest in a series of releases drawn from Francisco’s personal experiences, where soulful vocals and evocative songwriting paint a vivid picture of the profound power of love. “’Breakfast for Dinner’ expresses my feelings towards my partner in crime,” Francisco shares. “Lifting each other up through everything has always been our endgame.”
The release of “Breakfast For Dinner” follows Francisco’s most recent single “Lily,” a pop song about the tug and pull of a relationship on the rocks – when you know it’ll end soon but can’t help but still hold on. “This song started one late, hazy night with my closest friends and family and was finished at the legendary Stupid Youth Studios,” Francisco shared upon its release. “While the song sounds easy-going, the lyrics pull at your heartstrings.”
On being 2 months sober, Francisco writes, “I’m alive and ok…it’s hard but life ain’t ever a walk in the park”
On Instagram, Francisco wrote honestly about his life these past few months. While he shares that two of his songs are on Billboard, “there has been “a whole lot of simply working on myself.” The singer songwriter confesses, “2 months sober, and it’s hard, but life ain’t ever a walk in the park.”
“I’m alive and okay,” he writes. “And after dealing with lots of medical and emotional trauma these last few weeks, I’m happy to continue to put my art out into the world.” He continues, “That’s all we are. Today, now, and in the present…More music to come. Love you guys.”

“Breakfast For Dinner” is the latest in a string of releases
