Chrissy Metz just dropped a new song, “Talking to God.” The song is from her upcoming freshman record, which will be released on Universal Music Group.

“’Talking to God’ is a really special song for me,” Chrissy said in a statement. “I know that all music is interpreted by everyone’s own perception, but for me when I heard the song it resonated in a way – when the line says, ‘I was talking to God and your name came up,’ for me that was thinking about and praying for people that might not be in your life anymore, but they impacted your life or they have a special place in your heart. They may not be good for you any longer, but you still care about them and you still wish them well, whether it’s a previous relationship, friendship.

“Gosh, when I heard it, I was immediately just taken aback and also, I felt so compelled to tell this story,” she continued. “Even though I had no part in writing it, I just knew that I had to tell the story because I’ve lived it and I think we all have. Unfortunately, we have regrets or decisions we would’ve made differently, so, yeah.”

Ashley McBryde, Nicolette Hayford, Connie Harrington, Jake Mitchell and Aaron Raitiere co-wrote “Talking to God.” The song’s message is timely, always, but especially now as so many people are dealing with the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

“‘Talking To God’ is a song about those moments when we ask the questions we desperately want the answers to,” Metz said. “Whether it’s a lost love or why our own lives look much different than the way we had hoped they would. It’s about those personal prayers and conversations we have while listening and learning to surrender and trust in the bigger picture.”

A release date for Metz’s upcoming album has yet to be announced.
