"Follow God" lit a fuse under Jesus Is King, Kanye West's ninth studio album, out October 25, 2019 on GOOD Music and Def Jam. West produced it with BoogzDaBeast and Xcelence, chopping up Whole Truth's "Can You Lose by Following God", which is why Calvin and Curtis Eubanks share the writing credit with the producers and Aaron Butts.
It's about fathers in both senses, West's bond with God and with his own dad, Ray West, as he picks at what being "Christlike" asks of him. The video puts the two of them on ATVs in the snow in Cody, Wyoming. Critics liked the bouncing beat and his quick flow, and many called it the album's best track; it debuted at 7 on the Hot 100, his 18th top-10 hit, and won Top Gospel Song at the 2020 Billboard Music Awards.
