Josiah Queen Declares Victory with New Anthem “Can’t Steal My Joy” Featuring Brandon Lake

Breakout artist Josiah Queen kicks off 2025 in grand style with the electrifying new single, “Can’t Steal My Joy,” featuring five-time GRAMMY® Award winner Brandon Lake. This powerful anthem, co-written by Queen, Lake, Hank Bentley, and Jacob Sooter, bursts with hope and unshakable faith. Queen’s first release under Capitol Records/Capitol Christian Music Group (CCMG) has been met with an outpouring of excitement, with over five million combined views as teasers captivated fans ahead of its debut. Reflecting on the song’s profound message, Queen shared, “The joy of the Lord is our strength. This song reminds us that no matter what we face, our joy is untouchable because it comes from God, not the world.”

At just 22, Queen is already a force in the Christian music scene. Following his sold-out 2024 headline tour across 40 U.S. cities, he is set to embark on a global tour beginning March 6 in the U.K., with more dates to be announced. Raised on the road with his preacher mom, Queen’s life experiences have profoundly shaped his songwriting. His self-released debut album, The Prodigal, made waves in 2024, claiming the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Top Christian Albums chart and cementing him as one of Amazon Music’s Breakthrough Artists To Watch. With over 300 million combined global streams, including 82 million for the chart-topping “The Prodigal,” Queen’s music continues to resonate deeply, blending Americana influences with authentic, faith-driven storytelling. “Can’t Steal My Joy” is yet another milestone in a journey that’s only just begun.
