Christian singer Brandon Lake says his wife was the only person who thought his collaboration with Elevation Worship and Chandler Moore for the live recording of the song "Praise!" would turn into a hit.
"We kind of did it being silly,” said Elevation Worship’s Chris Brown about the song that has been ranked No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs chart for 22 weeks in an interview with Michael Foust for Crosswalk Headlines.
Lake, who told the outlet, “I don’t think anybody believed in 'Praise!,' except for my wife,” said he expected the song to "bomb."
At the live recording of "Praise!" and other songs in front of a packed audience at one of Elevation Church's campuses in North Carolina, the worship singer told Crosswalk that he wanted it to be the last song performed that night because "[if] it tanks ... it bombs ... we at least had two hours of worship. No one’s gonna care, it’s energetic, they won’t pay attention.”
He continued: “The whole place just goes bananas. Like, if you haven’t seen the video, you’ve got to watch the video. And my wife was like, ‘I told you — there’s something about that song.’”
Brown concurred, adding, “it (the audience) went crazy.”
