Phil Wickham, Lady A and Boyz II Men Lead Star-Studded Album Inspired by "The Chosen"

Arriving October 30, Songs Inspired By The Chosen: Seasons 1-5 features 11 tracks exploring faith, surrender, healing and encounters with Jesus.

The Chosen is bringing its stories into a new musical setting. Arriving October 30, 2026, Songs Inspired By The Chosen: Seasons 1-5 brings together Phil Wickham, Anne Wilson, Lady A, Boyz II Men, Tyler Hubbard and more for a collection created through a partnership between 5&2 Studios and Capitol Christian Music Group.

The project invited artists who personally connected with the series to respond through original music. Their contributions draw on characters, individual scenes and themes running across its first five seasons. That approach gives the album a compelling central question: how does watching an encounter with Jesus become an invitation to examine one's own faith?

One of its most distinctive collaborations pairs country trio Lady A with R&B vocal group Boyz II Men on "I Love The One." Released September 25 as the project's third single, the song explores suffering, healing and hope. Lady A's Hillary Scott identified the biblical account of the woman who touched Jesus' garment as a particular inspiration, explaining that she had watched the series with her teenage daughter.

The rollout began with Tyler Hubbard's "All I Need Is You," followed by Jamie MacDonald's "Roots." Drawing inspiration from Psalm 1 and the disciples' endurance through adversity, "Roots" connects the project's biblical setting with questions of spiritual resilience.

LOST & FOUND's "My Everything," available since October 9, adds a reflection on childlike trust. The artists describe its message as releasing control, surrendering fear and finding strength in Jesus' presence, taking inspiration from the children's delight in being with Him.

Phil Wickham opens the album with "SOS (Don't Let Me Go)." In his announcement, reported by Worship Chronicle, Wickham explained that he had been developing the song before Dallas Jenkins and the series' team approached him about contributing music inspired by a scene. He immediately recognized a connection between the invitation and the song already taking shape.

The collection also includes contributions from Stephen Stanley, Madison Ryann Ward, Blessing Offor, Franni Cash and Jac Ross, alongside Anne Wilson's "Even This." Together, the lineup brings artists from across Christian, country, gospel and R&B music into the same project.

Its release precedes the announced November 15 premiere of Season 6 on Prime Video and the March 12, 2027 theatrical release of The Chosen Crucifixion. For listeners, the album offers an opportunity to revisit the first five seasons through the personal responses of artists moved by their stories.
