"Alleluia" is a song recorded live by the American contemporary worship collective Elevation Worship featuring singers Chandler Moore and Chris Brown. The song was released on February 5, 2026, via Elevation Worship Records. It impacted Christian radio in the United States as the second promotional single from Elevation Worship's forthcoming thirteenth live album, So Be It .
"Alleluia" was written by Benjamin William Hastings, Moore, and Steven Furtick. The track was produced by Moore, Brown, Jonathan Mix, and Furtick, with Furtick also serving as executive producer. Drey Lavyne mastered while Samuel Gibson mixed. The song was engineered by Believe Kamba, Bryan Soto, Daniil Magay, Dustin Maxwell, Graham King, Ian Womack, Mix, Joshua Linker, Josie Flores Cardenas, Marco Cargnelutti, Nathan Decker, William Oakley, and Zach King. Moore and Brown each recorded lead vocals. [3] Brown spoke of the song's meaning, explaining:
I love the intention in the lyric: 'I came to praise…that's why I woke up today.' This song is one big announcement from beginning to end that our God is worthy and He deserves our praise! We're having so much fun doing this live at church right now, and I hope that joy comes through.
— Chris Brown of Elevation Worship [4]
"Alleluia" has been noted for its energetic, celebratory sound, drawing comparisons to the collective's 2023 single "Praise". The track opens with the sound of a cheering crowd before building into an upbeat worship anthem containing rhythmic percussion and layered vocals. Critics have described the song as "upbeat" and "triumphant", making note of its dance-oriented feel and its emphasis on worship as a daily event. [5] The song demonstrates the styles of contemporary worship music. [2] It is composed in the key of B, with a speed of 125 beats per minute and a time signature of 4
4. [6]
Niagara Frontier Publications described the song as "an upbeat, triumphant anthem." [7] Jesus Freak Hideout observed that "the track reflects the group's message that worship extends beyond a Sunday moment; it's a daily posture and declaration." [8] Michaela Halfast of K-Love described the song as "dance-worthy," observing it to be "the collective's most energetic song since 2023's 'Praise'." [9] Jason Witt of Air1 described the song as "a full-blown praise celebration that demands movement" containing "[an] uptempo beat and infectious, rhythmic melodies." [10] Lindsay Williams of Air1 described it as "the kind of song you want to wake up to, the type of encouragement you need along the marathon that is life," going on to observe that it contains "a triumphant beat," "a super-charged melody," and a "celebratory singalong feel." [11] In a later commentary on the song, she made note of how it "launches praise like a missile," stating that "Moore and Brown have praise on their lips morning, noon and night across the frenetic, drum-heavy selection." [12]
