What a collaboration! The lyrics are about a man who lies, steals, and always gets himself in trouble. The only thing he doesn't screw up is the love he's somehow found while being such a rascal. Brown described the song as "kind of the opposite" of Marshmello's collaboration with Bastille, "Happier."

This could be the perfect love song! Brown released "Worship You" for his wife, Katelyn Jae. "Worship You" depicted his belief in their love, comparing it to his belief in the Bible. Kane said, "When we were writing it, we didn't know what to write about. I think we tried like four different songs before we wrote that song... But I remember us writing it. It came, you know, so fluidly. We actually wrote it pretty fast."


2. "Thank God"

An amazing song for the ages! Kane told Variety, “As an artist, you want to release a song that everybody can relate to and not argue about. So, I don’t think there’s anything arguable in the song. It’s just saying everybody should be treated the same, and stop looking at colors, because everybody’s worldwide beautiful… I hope the song gets more life."
