NASHVILLE, TN… September 5, 2025 - GRAMMY-nominated, award-winning artist FORREST FRANK has released his CHILD OF GOD II (BACK TO BACK) DELUXE album today. Upon its release last May, CHILD OF GOD II debuted atop the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart and No. 12 on Billboard's Top 200 Album Chart. Available across all DSP's, on CD and vinyl pre-order, the 26-track deluxe project features all 20 songs from the original COG II album, plus recent viral tracks "THE ROCK" with CROWDER, "LEMONADE" with THE FIGS, "SELAH," and "GOD'S GOT MY BACK." Combined streams for the four tracks has crossed 40M+ streams and 50K TikTok UGC.

 

Each of the new songs were inspired by a serious skateboarding injury that resulted in multiple back fractures for FRANK, but ultimate quick healing, which he extensively shared with fans on socials.

 

Not long after posting about his healing, fellow artist Cory Asbury joked about FRANK'S injury in a parody about his vasectomy, and in response, Frank shared how hurtful jokes about what he called “probably the most traumatic moment of my life” was painful. Asbury apologized sincerely and removed the video, and the two reconciled on the phone, turning what began as a misunderstanding on social media into an opportunity for forgiveness and grace, ultimately co-writing the newest song on the deluxe, “Misunderstood."

 

While he's seen his monthly YouTube Music listeners surpass even DRAKE, Frank also recently received seven GMA Dove Award nominations, including Artist of the Year and Songwriter of the Year. Tracks "GOOD DAY" and "UP!" were both nominated for Song of the Year, with the CHILD OF GOD album and "YOUR WAY'S BETTER" viral hit also receiving nominations for Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year and Pop/Contemporary Song of the Year, respectively. Frank also garnered a nod in the Rap/Hip Hop Recorded Song of the Year category for "HEAVEN ON THIS EARTH (feat. Torey D'Shaun)."

 

Forrest Frank, award-winning singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist, approaches life and music with gratitude and intent. This mindset underscores his music, and it’s why his GRAMMY-nominated, RIAA GOLD-Certified album CHILD OF GOD was the best-selling Christian album of 2024, and his latest, CHILD OF GOD II, is also a best-seller. Working independently in 2021, Frank broke through with “NO LONGER BOUND” (feat. Hulvey), tallying more than 60 million Spotify streams. In 2023, his debut album CHILD OF GOD soared to stratospheric heights, capturing his first GRAMMY nomination, a Billboard Music Award (BBMA) finalist spot, a #1 on the iTunes Overall Top Albums Chart, Dove Award nomination and tallied over 1 billion global streams. Billboard named him the #1 Top New Christian Artist of 2023. In Fall 2024, he released the CHILD OF GOD (DELUXE) album. The single “GOOD DAY” became a Christian radio hit, was named a BBMA finalist and won a Dove Award for Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year, with Frank winning for “New Artist of the Year.” The project also included the RIAA Gold-certified track “YOUR WAY’S BETTER,” which experienced explosive viral growth and rose to a BILLBOARD Top 100 hit, driven by the viral dance that took the internet by storm. In May 2025, Frank wrapped his completely sold out “CHILD OF GOD TOUR Part 2,” and released his follow-up album, CHILD OF GOD II, featuring popular songs “NOTHING ELSE (with Thomas Rhett),” “NO L’s” and “AMEN.” This summer, after breaking his back in a freak accident, he released several new viral tracks including “GOD’S GOT MY BACK,” “LEMONADE,” “SELAH” and his latest, “THE ROCK” with Crowder. These four tracks plus 20 more are on the newly released deluxe album, CHILD OF GOD II (BACK TO BACK). As Frank currently finds himself at the center of the music world, he clings to a core message. “My whole brand was built around God, and I’m not going to change that—ever,” he affirms.
