Background

"Amen" features four previously released singles, "Your Way's Better", "Nothing Else", "Celebration", and "No L's".

The first track released was "Your Way's Better".[5][6][7] It was featured on the album Child of God: Deluxe Edition, which was released on November 1, 2024.[8][9][10] The song was released on October 25, 2024, initially peaking at No. 19 on the Billboard Hot Christian Songs chart.[11] In early 2025, the song reached a sudden breakout in popularity, proceeding to No. 2 on the Hot Christian Songs and No. 8 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles.[12][13] The song's popularity achievement is largely credited to promotion on social media, and a dance derived from the song.[14]

The second track to be released was "Nothing Else", on February 28, 2025.[15][16] The song featured country music-star Thomas Rhett. "Nothing Else" became a breakout single upon release, charting at No. 14 on the Billboard Digital Song Sales and No. 4 on the Hot Christian Songs, within the first week of release.[17][18] On April 13, 2025, Rhett famously broke his ankle while performing the song alongside Frank in concert.[19][20]

The third track to be released, labeled as fourth on the track listing, was "No L's", released on April 11, 2025.[21][22][23] "No L's" used a sample of over 10,000 people, recorded at one of Frank's live performances on the Child of God Tour.[24] It achieved a peak of No. 12 on the Billboard Hot Christian Songs chart.[12] The fourth single released, labeled as third on the track listing, was "Celebration", released on April 18, 2025.[25][26] "Celebration" is Easter-themed in lyrics.[27][28]
