FORREST FRANK DROPS "THE ROCK" WITH CROWDER
"THE ROCK" follows back-to-back viral tracks "SELAH," "LEMONADE" & "GOD'S GOT MY BACK"
NASHVILLE, TN… August 22, 2025 - GRAMMY-nominated, award-winning artist FORREST FRANK continues to crank out the new tunes, today releasing "THE ROCK" with CROWDER.
Similar to his "LEMONADE" collab with THE FIGS, "THE ROCK" began after Crowder tagged him in a social post after breaking his leg. During their instagram conversation, Frank said to Crowder "you might not be able to stand, but you can stand on the Rock.” That moment inspired their new single.
"I was super bummed when my leg broke — it was uncomfortable and inconvenient, for sure," Crowder remarked. "But I was aware of what had transpired with Forrest’s back and the miraculous turn around he had seen and the wake of music and prayer that was coming from what seemed to be a set back. I think that’s one of the most beautiful things about the church — when you see God active and reliable in someone else’s experience, you believe it is possible for you. I was so thankful that Forrest let us in on his difficulty because instead of frustration or worry I immediately had a sense of expectation — like, okay God, what are You up to? Whatever it is, I’m here for it. That no matter what — whether my leg is healed miraculously, or if it’s a long and arduous recovery, whatever comes — my hope and my satisfaction and my joy is in the eternal Rock of Ages. That’s what I’m standing on. Not my circumstances."
"THE ROCK" follows back-to-back viral singles "SELAH" (3.1 MILLION global streams), "GOD'S GOT MY BACK," (over 25K Reels UGC/10K TikTok UGC/over 10.8 MILLION Streams), and "LEMONADE" (60.4K Reels/30K TikTok UGC/over 8 MILLION streams).
Each of the new songs were inspired by a serious skateboarding injury that resulted in multiple back fractures, but ultimate quick healing, which Frank has extensively shared with fans on socials.
At radio, Frank currently has logged his second Top 5 single on the Mediabase and Billboard Christian radio charts with “YOUR WAY'S BETTER” at #4 Mediabase Christian Audience and #4 on Billboard Christian AC with 96 stations on the song. “NOTHING ELSE” featuring Thomas Rhett currently sits at #29 at Billboard Christian Airplay and #27 at Billboard Christian AC. The song is also #28 this week at Mediabase Christian AC with 40 total stations on. Meanwhile, his new collab with The Figs, “LEMONADE” has already been added to 16 stations in two weeks with multiple outlets putting the song straight into heavy rotation. Frank’s weekly radio airplay impressions have risen from 7.3M in April ’25 to 15.3M as of August 21, 2025.
While he's seen his monthly YouTube Music listeners surpass even DRAKE,Frank also recently received seven GMA Dove Award nominations, including Artist of the Year and Songwriter of the Year. Tracks "GOOD DAY" and "UP!" were both nominated for Song of the Year, with the CHILD OF GOD album and "YOUR WAY'S BETTER" viral hit also receiving nominations for Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year and Pop/Contemporary Song of the Year, respectively. Frank also garnered a nod in the Rap/Hip Hop Recorded Song of the Year category for "HEAVEN ON THIS EARTH (feat. Torey D'Shaun)."
ABOUT FORREST FRANK:
Forrest Frank acknowledges the weight of his words, deeds, and actions within his artistry. The award-nominated Texas-based singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist approaches life and music with gratitude and intent. This mindset underscores his music, and it’s why his GRAMMY-nominated, RIAA GOLD-Certified album CHILD OF GOD was the best-selling Christian album of 2024, and his latest, CHILD OF GOD II, is also a best-seller.
The Houston-born singer, who’d temporarily put the idea of making solo music on the back burner to keep building on his band’s success, craved the freedom to make music just for himself again, and in 2021, a revelation inspired him to change course. Forrest opted to take a year off from touring, relocated to Waco, TX, and became a father.
Working completely independently, his self-described “simple worship song”—the powerful “NO LONGER BOUND” [feat. Hulvey]— opened up the floodgates, surging across social media, tallying north of 60.9 million Spotify streams and counting. He parlayed this momentum into CHILD OF GOD. Beyond performing on all 20 tracks, Forrest helmed the production, crafting an immersive album anchored by elements of bright R&B, upbeat pop, and uplifting gospel. Thematically, he clung to a core message. “My whole brand was built around God, and I’m not going to change that—ever,” he affirms.
CHILD OF GOD soared to stratospheric heights upon arrival, capturing his first GRAMMY nomination, a Billboard Music Award (BBMA) finalist spot, a #1 on the iTunes Overall Top Albums Chart, Dove Award nomination, and within a few months’ time, tallied over 1 billion global streams. Given the runaway success, Billboard named him the #1 Top New Christian Artist of 2023, a 2024 BBMA finalist for Top Christian Artist. Concurrently, the signature “GOOD DAY” became a Christian radio hit, also named a BBMA finalist and won a Dove Award for Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year, with Frank winning for “New Artist of the Year.” Fall 2024 saw the release of the CHILD OF GOD (DELUXE) album featuring seven new tracks, including the RIAA Gold-certified track "YOUR WAY'S BETTER," "HEAVEN ON THIS EARTH" with Torey D’Shaun, and new holiday original, "THE PRESENT."
The first half of 2025 saw the release of "drop," "SUNRISE,” "NOTHING ELSE (with Thomas Rhett)," “NO L’s,” "CELEBRATION," and "AMEN." In May Frank wrapped hiscompletely sold out "CHILD OF GOD TOUR Part 2,” and is experienced the explosive viral growth of "YOUR WAY'S BETTER,” which became a BILLBOARD Top 100 hit, driven by the viral dance that took the internet by storm. In May he released CHILD OF GOD II and recently released several viral tracks including "GOD'S GOT MY BACK," "LEMONADE" and "SELAH." His latest track comes as he teams up with Crowder for the song "THE ROCK."
