Lauren Daigle Breaks Records, ‘You Say’ is the biggest all-time Christian Song
Just before the end of 2019, Lauren Daigle was making history of Billlboard. Her single “You Say” stayed on Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs at # 1 spot for 62 weeks.
For 62 weeks, Lauren’s “You Say” remained # 1 on the chart, making it the longest time a song has been ranked first. “You Say” replaced the “Oceans” of Hillsong, which had a record of 61 weeks. In fact, Lauren refers to “Oceans” as her inspiration.
The Journey Of Writing “You Say”
“I really pondered the journey of the song ‘Oceans,’ and I remember seeing the impact that song made on so many people. It was just so beautiful to me,” Lauren told Billboard.
“I hoped that I could be a part of something that shakes the earth like that song. I didn’t know that would ever happen, and I had no idea that ‘You Say’ would be something that would parallel the life of ‘Oceans,’” she recalled.
The Story Behind The Song
The 28-year-old artist revealed the story behind the hit song “You Say” through a video.
“This song is just a reminder of identity. A reminder that, when I’m weak, He’s strong. So how do I change that and bring that into my everyday life?”
She added, “When I feel inadequate, how is it that there’s always these moments where I feel like God just steps in and supersedes my inadequacies. This entire song was so that every single night I would get up on stage and remind myself, ‘No, this is the truth; don’t get buried in confusion. Don’t get buried in waywardness, just remember to steady the course.”
