Who recorded the hit single "Who Will Save Your Soul" in 1995? Jewel did. The song was written and performed by American singer-songwriter Jewel Kilcher and became her breakthrough hit.
Jewel originally recorded the song for her debut album, Pieces of You, which was released in 1995. The album initially gained attention through live performances and word of mouth before the song received wider radio exposure. Its commercial single release followed in 1996, which is why some references list 1996 rather than 1995.
The track combines acoustic guitar, folk-pop songwriting, and lyrics questioning modern relationships, ambition, and personal responsibility. It reached the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and helped establish Jewel as one of the most recognizable singer-songwriters of the mid-1990s.
A common mix-up is confusing the recording year with the commercial single-release year. Jewel is the performer and songwriter associated with the song; 1995 refers to its appearance on her debut album, while the U.S. single release came in 1996.
