In the midst of conflicting opinions and depressing headlines, Maverick City Music brings a straightforward message of bold, bright hope on “Good News.” More than anything, the award-winning collective wants the world to know one thing: Jesus loves you. With a memorable tribal beat and a warm invitation to taste and see that the Lord is good, “Good News” features lead vocals from Chandler Moore and Todd Galberth.

Together with the group’s Naomi Raine, Moore and Galberth recently performed the unabashed Christian track on the “Tamron Hall Show.” Whether on daytime television or on stage in an arena, in a world with an abundance of bad news, the five-time GRAMMY® winners are offering a different solution. Debuting as an Air1 exclusive, “Good News” speaks to every single person, no matter where they might find themselves on the winding journey of faith. Whether you’ve been a follower of Christ for a long time or you aren’t sure what you believe, “Good News” extends the simple Gospel truth:
If you’re breathing, it’s for you: An empty grave
To a life that’s changed
It all points to Jesus’ name
If you’ve been searching and nothing’s been working
I’ve got good news: Jesus loves you

Before the upbeat track comes to a close, Maverick City Music borrows lines from well-known standards about the love of Jesus, including John Mark McMillan’s “How He Loves” and Sunday School classics “Jesus Loves the Little Children” and “Jesus Loves Me.” It’s a subtle, timeless reminder that while there are a lot of things in this life that will inevitably change, the love of Jesus is not one of them.
“Good News” is set to appear on the group’s “The Maverick Way Complete,” due Oct. 27, 2023. The 22-song project extends their recent “The Maverick Way” EP and lends its name to the collective’s upcoming tour, which will visit 16 cities across the country this fall. In true Maverick City fashion, the headlining trek is also slated to feature a diverse array of special guests, including Galberth, Noah Schnacky, Travis Greene, Forward City Music and JWLKRS Worship.
