Overview
- Johnson released and co‑wrote the ballad "Your Dad" for Disney Music Group’s Moana: Voices Across the Ocean, and he told Rolling Stone on Tuesday that he is "exploring" a move into music.
- The song was co‑written with Hawaiian singer Iam Tongi after Tongi brought an original called "My Dad" that was reworked to be about Johnson’s three daughters.
- Johnson described the project as personal rather than commercial, saying the track is meant as a message to his daughters with no expectation tied to sales or streaming.
- He signaled a stylistic interest in traditional country and old‑school soul, citing influences such as Sam Cooke, Elvis, George Jones and Merle Haggard as a guide for what he might pursue next.
- Johnson and his wife, Lauren Hashian, are credited as executive producers on the companion album, and coverage links his musical exploration to a desire for creative projects that carry less box‑office pressure after the recent Moana release.
