The track, described as a worship anthem, reflects Gokey’s familiar blend of faith-centered and inspirational music. Sharing his thoughts on the release, the singer said he hoped the song would encourage listeners to reflect on “God’s unchanging attributes” and renew their focus on worship.
Gokey first gained attention as a finalist on American Idol and has since built a career in contemporary Christian music. Over the years, he has become known for songs that emphasize resilience, gratitude, and hope. With “Live Up To Your Name,” he carries those themes forward, portraying God as a constant source of healing and guidance.
The song was created with contributions from several collaborators. Colby Wedgeworth served as programmer, producer, and composer-lyricist, while Gokey himself co-wrote the track and performed lead vocals. Jonathan Conrad Gamble also contributed as a composer-lyricist, programmer, and background vocalist. Additional vocals were provided by Mariah Adigun Bernard, Randylynn Benton, Thais Gardner, Trenton Bernard, and Jashua Rhodes. Mixing was handled by Sean Moffitt, with Jesse Brock as second engineer. A&R oversight was led by Josh Bailey and administrator Chad Chrisman.
The lyrics highlight traditional Christian motifs, referring to God as “Promise Keeper,” “Redeemer,” and “Way Maker.”
The release adds to Gokey’s growing catalog of worship music, which has earned him chart success on both Christian radio and Billboard’s Christian Albums ranking. It also underscores his continued effort to connect with listeners through songs rooted in faith and encouragement.
“Live Up To Your Name” is available on all major digital platforms. More information, including tour dates and upcoming projects, can be found on Gokey’s official website.
