The dynamic, multicultural youth ministry of Planetshakers Church, planetboom, exists to see this generation encounter the love of Jesus and to see a nation saved. That mission statement is expressed organically in its declarative new single, “JC Squad,” which releases today (July 31) to digital and streaming outlets globally from Venture3Media (V3M) and through https://lnk.to/JCSquad. A Deluxe Version is also available as exclusives from Apple Music and iTunes.

Written by planetboom youth pastor, songwriter, author and drummer Andy Harrison, produced by creative director Josh Ham and mixed by worship leader Joth Hunt, “JC Squad” features vocalist / rapper Noah Walker leading this percussive and inclusive, dance party-like invitation.

"Carrying the power, anointing and authority that Jesus has given us, we wrote this song to express who Jesus is to us,” says planetboom’s Aimee Evans. “One of the lines in the song says, ‘my God is bigger, He's stronger than the rest,’ and when we sing these words it comes from believing in our hearts that this is who He is. Being a part of the ‘JC Squad’ is a lifestyle for us because we believe it is the best place to be. We invite you to be a part of the ‘JC Squad’.”

We're going glory to glory

And we're never going back

Strength to strength

Taking territory back

We're going faster and faster

Acceleration no lag

We that JC squad

With that yah yah yah yah

(“JC Squad” Chorus)

Inspired by the diverse youth culture at planetboom that represents at least 60 nationalities, the new single and video follow the release of the declarative songs “Jesus Is The Key,” “ILY,” “Unshakeable,” “Praise on Praise” and “Saints,” and the band’s ‘K-pop style’ song of thanks, “Kamsahamnida.” It also follows planetboom’s acclaimed and first full-length album, companion book and audiobook, all entitled Jesus Over Everything.
