"Best News Ever" is the third single by contemporary Christian music band MercyMe for their ninth studio album, Lifer (2017).
[5] Lead vocalist of the band, Bart Millard, shared the story behind the song in an interview with FreeCCM, "I will honestly say it’s one of my favorite messages on the record.
It’s the way I grew up which was ‘be all you can be, you get what you deserve and work harder and try harder.’ And It's like wait a minute, what if somebody (which somebody did), but what if they came and told me ‘hey the works already done the fight's already been won, you don’t have to try so hard.’ That's what makes the Gospel not just the good news but the best news ever.
[4] Written in common time, Millard's vocal range spans from G4 to A5 during the song.
48 on the Billboard Christian Airplay chart on the issue week of October 13, 2018.
