MUMBAI: Triller, the social video sharing app, has partnered with multi-platinum entertainer Chris Young on a new Pay It Forward challenge at https://v.triller.co/dqEq9j. Launched just last week, the “If That Ain’t God” initiative is already among Triller’s top trending hashtags as Chris encourages fans to capture and share random acts of kindness. Join the movement on Triller.
“2020 has been a crazy year and one of the reasons I wanted to release my new single, ‘If That Ain’t God,’ is because a lot of the lyrics remind me not to take little things or big things for granted that are amazing moments that happen in our lives,” shared Chris. “I wanted to take an opportunity to do something where we go out and create random acts of kindness for other people – just bring them some joy and positivity, which is what this song is all about and which is what I think we all need right now."
After teasing a 56-second clip to social media recently, “If That Ain’t God,” received an overwhelming response from fans for its uplifting and inspiring message, which is especially poingnant in today’s times. His first new music in over a year, “If That Ain’t God” is written by Young, Matt Roy, Mitchell Oglesby, and Greylan James and co-produced by Young and Chris DeStefano. He talks about what drew him to “If That Ain’t God” during a recent episode of his podcast, “The Quad with Chris Young.”
That short glimpse of the new song was so powerful, that it resonated immediately, and received an outpouring of praise from critics:
American Songwriter - “If That Ain’t God” serves as the much-needed proclamation that a somewhat crumbling world needs right now. It’s a worthy reminder of the importance of positivity and the need for miracles, sung by someone who knows the importance of faith in an uncertain world.”
Taste Of Country - “The mid-tempo, traditional country inspirational is a true reflection on faith that you're not used to hearing from Young, one of country's premier vocalists, but a man with far more broken hearts than patched-up souls across his six album catalog....Young isn't trying to make a statement or turn in a new direction. ‘If That Ain't God’ is uplifting and positive and sailing on a need for both of those things in America right now.”
Whiskey Riff – “….a call to remember all the little miracles that happen to you, the things you might forget about in the midst of the chaos of the world right now.”
“If That Ain’t God” follows his most recent releases, including his latest single, “Drowning,” which had over 1.2 million streams in its first week of release and was named to Rolling Stone’s Best Country and Americana Songs of 2019, as well as “Raised On Country” and “Town Ain’t Big Enough,” featuring Lauren Alaina.
