Lauren Daigle made an unforgettable return to the music scene with the release of her music video for Thank God I Do on April 6, 2023. The song, the lead single from her self-titled album Lauren Daigle, which debuted on May 12, 2023, is a powerful anthem of resilience and gratitude—two themes beautifully brought to life in the video.
Visually stunning and deeply emotional, the music video takes viewers on a heartfelt journey. Wrapped in an array of vibrant flowers, Daigle appears in different intimate settings—singing on a porch, strolling down a peaceful street, and reflecting in a cozy home. The flowers, she explained, symbolize both fragility and strength, mirroring the song’s message of enduring hardship while holding on to faith. “Flowers are delicate and vibrant, a juxtaposition that is quite lovely. They can be easily damaged but also withstand rains and storms. This video embodies the delicate nature of the lyric along with the resilience of withstanding hardship,” Daigle shared.
The song quickly struck a chord with fans and critics alike. Jim Harrington of The Marin Independent Journal called it “absolutely amazing,” praising Daigle’s signature soulful delivery. Thank God I Do soared to No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs chart in May 2023, further cementing Daigle’s record as the female artist with the most chart-topping singles in the genre. It also dominated the Christian Digital Song Sales chart for seven consecutive weeks, proving its lasting impact.
To celebrate the song’s success, Daigle performed it live on major platforms, including The Today Show on March 30, 2023, and Live with Kelly and Mark on August 22, 2023. The song’s influence even extended to American Idol, where Megan Danielle delivered a touching cover during the Top 12 performances, showcasing its wide-reaching appeal.
Beyond the charts and accolades, Thank God I Do and its music video serve as a testament to Daigle’s ability to connect with listeners on a personal level. Through her music, she continues to inspire, uplift, and remind fans that even in life’s toughest moments, gratitude and faith can light the way.
