In addition to having an official video, a press release reports that “Roll Slide Roll” has been heating up airwaves, climbing to No. 24 on Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay chart.
Part love story, part celebration anthem, the song blends smooth vocals with that classic southern soul sound that’s dominating family functions and fellowships.

For Garrett, though, it’s more than just a catchy step song; he told BOSSIP it’s about celebrating a solid relationship with lines like: “In this game of love, I got a woman that’ll hold me up, rock solid, no folding up, ten toes down, no pressure.”
“The song lays out the blueprint for a lasting relationship and celebrates resilience through life’s challenges, and the joy of being in sync with your partner,” said Garrett. “The lyrics tell a story—’I love it when you step right’ isn’t just a lyric for the dance; I’m celebrating mutual love, respect, and support.”
