“What If I Do is a song about loving yourself enough to walk away from an emotionally abusive relationship. Because emotional abuse IS abuse”
Written with raw vulnerability, “What If I Do” explores the transformative moment when someone finds the power to stop apologizing for things they didn’t do and starts taking responsibility for their own happiness. The song captures the internal struggle of feeling trapped while finally discovering the strength to walk away and choose self-worth over staying in a harmful situation.
Brooke Moriber is a singer/songwriter and native New Yorker who has paved an unconventional path for herself in Country music. After getting her start at a young age professionally performing on Broadway, Brooke turned to songwriting as a teenager to cope with losing her eyesight to a rare eye disease. When the disease went into remission after a difficult four years, Brooke began traveling to Nashville to tell her own stories. Praised for her “clarion voice” (Associated press), she went on to release her first single “Cry Like A Girl” independently and later signed with Nashville’s Reviver Records.
Brooke’s music has been featured on Spotify’s New Music Friday Country (Half A Heart, Little Bit Of You, Down to Nothing) and Country Christmas playlists (All I Want for Christmas is You), Sirius XM’s Velvet, CMT online, Music Choice Network and the Music Row Country Breakout radio chart. Hailed as a “stellar songwriter and a powerhouse vocalist” (Country Swag) and a “force to be reckoned with in Country music” (Celeb Secrets Country), Brooke has shared the stage with artists ranging from Scotty McCreery, Cyndi Lauper and The Gin Blossoms to Dylan Scott and Caroline Jones.
The former Broadway star and current Reviver Records country music sensation also hosts her bi-monthly “Nashville in New York (NINY)” Songwriters in the Round series, bringing a Nashville-style songwriting round to the heart of New York City; this most recent show featured an intimate acoustic performance with Brooke alongside the legendary Rock N Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Little Anthony of The Imperials, and rising country star Charly Reynolds, hosted by guest MC Jim Murphy, Director of Country Programming at the Music Choice Network.
Previous NINY shows have showcased the talents of Averie Bielski, Calista Clark, Kara DioGuardi, John Hampson, Ian Flanigan, Toby Lightman, Emily Shackleton, Shane Stevens, Jon Stone, Claire Wyndham, and members of the 615 Collective (which includes tunesmiths Aaron Goodvin, Sarah Darling, Michael Logen and Nicole Witt). The series has also boasted top guest MC’s like Kelly Ford from THE WOLF and multi-platinum hit songwriter Sam Hollander. Brooke also recently hosted and performed with songwriters Randall Fowler, Matt Stell and Erin Kinsey (and special guest star Kenya Reese) at Wild Goose Saloon in Denver, CO for a special “Nashville in Denver” event.
When she is not bringing Nashville to New York or Denver or performing somewhere else on the road, Moriber is hard at work in the studio with some of the industry’s top writers and producers, including Todd Lombardo and Craig Alvin (Kacey Musgraves), Karen Kosowski (Mickey Guyton), David Pittenger (GAYLE, Parmalee) and currently working on a project with Sol Philcox Littlefield and preparing to go in to the studio with Emily Shackelton and Claire Wyndham to record a special collaboration as a trio.

“What If I Do”
Brooke Moriber
Before we break I always bend
And apologize again
You never learned to take the blame
So I learned to take the pain
You say no one will ever love me more than you
But what if I do
What if I try
To start believing in me and stop buying into your lies
This time
What if I leave
Instead of settling for you I finally choose me
You think I don’t have the strength to live without you
But what if I do
What if I do
I’m staring at the door
Like I’ve done a thousand times before
But I can’t breathe and I can’t fight
Not when you’re holding me so tight
You think that I don’t have the wings to fly
What if I do
What if I try
To start believing in me and stop buying into your lies
This time
What if I leave
Instead of settling for you I finally choose me
You think I don’t have the strength to live without you
But what if I do
What if I do know better than to stay forever
Yeah you think no one will love me like you
What if I do
What if I can
Take the power back and find a better place to land
This time
What if I leave
Instead of settling for you I finally choose me
You think I don’t have the strength to live without you
I know I have the strength to live without you
What if I do
