Three-time GRAMMY-winning singer-songwriter Tori Kelly has officially unveiled the full tracklisting for her highly anticipated new album God Must Really Love Me, arriving June 12 via Epic Records. Alongside the announcement, Kelly has released two new singles - the soul-searching "Control" and the euphoric "Dive" - giving listeners their first taste of what promises to be one of the most personal and spiritually resonant projects of her career.

With God Must Really Love Me, Kelly leans into a radiant blend of R&B, soul, acoustic pop, and gospel influences, crafting a body of work shaped by motherhood, faith, vulnerability, and artistic freedom. The album reflects a quieter confidence from the acclaimed vocalist, whose unmistakable voice remains as powerful as ever while embracing a more intimate and restrained approach to storytelling.

The hypnotic "Control" transforms moments of anxiety and emotional overload into an honest meditation on surrender and trust in God. Built on atmospheric production, hard-hitting beats, and Kelly's fluid, hip-hop-inspired vocal phrasing, the song captures the tension between chaos and peace with striking vulnerability.

Meanwhile, "Dive" bursts with warmth and optimism. Written while Kelly was seven months pregnant, the track channels the nervous excitement of stepping into a completely new season of life. Overflowing with breezy melodies and uplifting energy, the song embraces uncertainty with fearless joy.

"'Control' is about how I cope when life feels crazy; how I always turn to God, and release those worries so they don't end up weighing me down," Kelly explains. "'Dive' is about recognizing that we won't get it right all the time, but we just have to dive in and do our best."

The album's tracklisting hints at an emotionally rich and deeply personal listening experience. Among the standout moments is the tender title-track intro, which features a recording of her son Zayden's voice, as well as "Too Much," written just ten days after his birth. Elsewhere, "Bird" reportedly serves as the emotional centerpiece of the album, while "Bliss" closes the project with an acoustic lullaby written while holding her son.

In a meaningful creative shift, Kelly reportedly wrote much of the album in solitude before collaborating with acclaimed producers and songwriters including DIXSON, Nija Charles, Emily Warren, Tommy King, Dan Farber, and Ammo. Several songs also emerged while touring Europe with Ed Sheeran during summer 2025.

This summer, Kelly will also join Forrest Frank on The Jesus Generation Tour, a major 29-date arena run featuring stops at Madison Square Garden, Intuit Dome, and Moody Center.
