CAIN has released a new single, "Return the Same," just weeks before The Chosen: The Three Kings arrives on Fox. The song came out Nov. 13, and its cover art carries The Three Kings branding, tying it to the Christmas special.
The Alabama sibling trio of Taylor Cain Matz, Madison Cain Johnson and Logan Cain sing about travelers who find they can't go back the way they came. The lyrics picture a desert sky touching the canyons like tongues of flame, and urge listeners to "make a different road home" where the pieces of the heart remained. The bridge adds that small secrets topple empires, and that a baby's cry can sound like an angel choir and bring Heaven near.
The theme echoes the Magi in Matthew 2, who were warned in a dream not to return to Herod and went home another way.
The Chosen: The Three Kings airs Monday, Dec. 14, from 8 to 9:30 p.m. ET/PT on Fox, and streams the next day on Hulu. It is the final chapter of The Chosen's Christmas trilogy, following The Shepherd and The Messengers. Taye Diggs plays Balthasar, with Piter Marek as Melchior and Rahul Rai as Gaspar.
CAIN has a history with the series. The group premiered its video for "The Commission" before screenings of Christmas with The Chosen: The Messengers in 2021.
