Save Me (DaBaby song)

DaBaby (real name Johnathan Lyndale Kirk) raps a song "Save Me" in dedication to Iryna Zarutska.^[2] The tribute song of Zarutska aims to remind others of "safety and compassion," and not solely highlighting the stabbing that ended Zarutska's life.^[3]

The music video was premiered on YouTube on Tuesday, September 16, 2025, and it was directed by DaBaby himself.^[3][4]

In the beginning of the music video, the security footage shows Zarutska who is seen boarding the Blue Line light rail and sitting down, then the video progresses to the reenactment of the incident. The reenactment of the incident includes two actors–Natalie Jones and KenDarius "Too" Hargrove–who play as Zarutska and Brown, respectively. DaBaby is sitting adjacent to Brown, then the video ends with DaBaby grabbing Brown's wrist while the latter attempts to stab Zarutska to death, which is the alternate to the incident.^[5]
