"I'd Go to Jail" is a song written and recorded by Canadian country artist Dean Brody.[1] The song was released to radio in October 2021, as the fifth single from Brody's seventh studio album Boys.[2]
Brody described "I'd Go to Jail" as a "personal favourite".[2] Inspired by being a father, he wrote the track by himself and stated: "Anyone who has someone in their life that they love can relate to doing anything to protect them and that’s really what this song is about".[3] He added that this was one of two songs he had written—the other being his 2016 hit "Time"—where he felt "goosebumps" as he knew that it was "special".[3]
Jason Schneider of FYI Music News referred to the song as an "emotion-fueled track", adding that it "displays Brody's passion for storytelling while capturing the unparalleled beauty of a father-daughter relationship".[2] Courtney Fielder of Country100.7 referred to the track as "a beautiful tune".[3]
"I'd Go to Jail" peaked at number 73 on the Canadian Hot 100 for the week of March 19, 2022, spending eight weeks on the chart in total. It also reached a peak of number five on the Billboard Canada Country chart for the same week, marking Brody's thirty-first career top ten hit. The song has been certified Gold by Music Canada.
