Rising Christian pop artist Nik Ryan has released his second single with NRT Music, "Have Mercy," a vulnerable and hope-filled song centered on surrender, grace, and turning to God in moments of weakness.
The new release follows Ryan's NRT Music debut, "All In," which received early editorial support from Apple Music. With "Have Mercy," Ryan continues developing his sound through modern Christian pop and alternative influences while keeping his songwriting deeply personal and faith-centered.
Written by Ryan with Coby James and Michael McCray, "Have Mercy" grew from a prayer and reflects the moment when striving for answers gives way to surrender. The song addresses loneliness, regret, and the exhaustion of trying to find fulfillment, ultimately pointing listeners toward God's grace and faithfulness.
At the heart of the song is a simple plea to the Lord: "Have mercy." Ryan's lyrics move from struggle toward hope, emphasizing the assurance that God does not abandon His people and will finish what He has started.
"Have Mercy" is available now to stream and download.
Ryan also released an official lyric video for "Have Mercy", giving listeners another way to experience the new single.
Based in Richmond, Virginia, Ryan draws from personal trials, family experiences, and a faith that has remained steady through difficult seasons. His journey into professional music accelerated following a Nashville songwriting retreat in 2025, leading to recording sessions with producer Coby James.
Through "Have Mercy," Ryan continues introducing his music to Christian audiences with honest storytelling and a message that points back to the grace of Christ.
