Foreman celebrates the beauty of life and the priceless connections made along the way in “I Propose A Toast.” With his characteristic lyrical touch and a light acoustic backing, he encourages listeners to unite around their differences and build bridges leading to a brighter tomorrow. It’s a stirring message in an era of hate and division, but Foreman’s worldview continues to spread a gospel of love and understanding.

The song’s lyrics testify to Foreman’s ability to connect with his listeners. “Here’s to love and here’s to life, here’s to fighting side-by-side, here’s to us together, you and I” are the words that will stay with listeners long after the song has ended. These words remind us that despite our differences, we can come together and positively impact the world.

The music video accompanying “I Propose A Toast” was shot on a nostalgia-inducing Super 8 film; the footage invokes memories of summers long past and reflects Foreman’s SoCal origins and passion for surfing. The video represents the warmth and positivity that Foreman wants to convey through his music.

Speaking about the track, Foreman noted: “I Propose A Toast” is a song to be sung at the end of a beautiful night with friends. It’s a refrain born of the paradox of humanity: recognizing both the pain and the beauty. The darkness, and the light. I wanted a song that would embrace the truth of where we are, and the roads that brought us here.”

Foreman is currently on the road on the “Tear The Roof Off Tour” in support of Brandon Lake, which sees the two singer-songwriters playing arenas and large clubs throughout the United States, with shows already sold out in Brooklyn (NY), Memphis (TN), Arlington (TX), Orlando (FL) and more.

Jon Foreman’s musical journey began in a California garage filled with surfboards, where he formed alt-rock band SWITCHFOOT. As the band grew, Jon began singing his acoustic songs in the parking lot behind the venue, which inspired his first four solo EPs in 2007: Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer. These twenty-four understated songs showcased a new side of his songwriting proficiency.

These were followed up by another series of EPs in the spring of 2015 titled, “The Wonderlands” – featuring twenty-four songs, a song for every hour of the day. 2015 welcomed the release of “The Wonderlands” twenty-five more songs that underscored Foreman’s unique way of seeing the world. The project was an attempt to craft a song for every hour of the day, accompanied by an unprecedented attempt to play 25 shows in 24 hours, a daunting feat that would become the feature documentary, “25 IN 24.”

As a true songwriter’s songwriter, Foreman’s songs have been sung by a truly wide array of artists, including Taylor Swift, Twenty One Pilots’ Tyler Joseph, the Jonas Brothers, and Jon Bellion. From Mandy Moore to Meatloaf, his work is appreciated by quite a disparate cross section of the populace. Jon boasts over 130 million global streams for his solo records, over 239K Spotify listeners, and has had massive syncs across film and TV including Grey’s Anatomy, ESPN College Football, One Tree Hill, and more.

Foreman’s music is not just about entertainment; it is about connecting with people and spreading a message of love and understanding. His music has the power to evoke emotions and to inspire change. “I Propose A Toast” is a song that reminds us of the importance of human connection and the beauty of life. In a world that seems to be growing more divided by the day, Foreman’s music is a beacon of hope, a reminder that we are all in this together.
