Watch Keith Urban Perform New Song, “God Whispered Your Name,” on “The Late Show”

Keith Urban stopped by The Late Show With Stephen Colbert on March 5 to perform his new song, “God Whispered Your Name.”

Penned by James Slater, Shy Carter, Micah Carter and Chris August, “God Whispered Your Name” is Keith’s first new music in 2020.

“‘God Whispered Your Name’ really spoke to me the very first time I heard it,” says Keith. “The opening line, ‘I was so cold and lost / and nothing seemed to ring true’—God, I know that place so well, and the rest of the song unfolded, and I just followed it every step of the way. At the end of the day if I’m gonna record a song that I didn’t write, like this one, then it’s gonna be a song that speaks to me really strongly. And ‘God Whispered Your Name’ absolutely spoke to me and tells my journey in such a profound way going through a season in life of being very lost and lonely and confused and not knowing how to get out of that, and then the chorus hits: ‘God whispered your name’ and everything starts to open up and become clear. And that second verse when it said, ‘I can feel the sunshine for the first time in a while,’ again, it just went right to the core of me. And [it was] the most extraordinary song, and I just knew right then and there I had to get into the studio and record it.”
