Tori Kelly Sets June Release for New Album 'God Must Really Love Me'

Three-time GRAMMY winner Tori Kelly will release her sixth studio album, God Must Really Love Me, on June 12 via Epic Records. The first two singles from the album, “Control” and “Dive,” are both out Friday, May 8 via Epic Records. Pre-order the album HERE.

Described as Kelly"s "most intimate work yet," the album is "a meditation on love, identity, and the quiet work of protecting your peace amid the constant noise of the outside world." The inspiration for God Must Really Love Me came to Kelly shortly after giving birth to her first child.

“Before the baby was born I’d tried to work on as many songs as possible, because I thought maybe I wouldn’t want to write once I was in mom mode. But then everything just hit me at once and right away I knew what I needed to say and exactly how I wanted it to sound,” Kelly shares. “I really challenged myself to peel back the layers and go much deeper with my lyrics. In the past I’ve held back from getting too specific in my songs, but this time I just completely let go.”

In a departure from her previous work, Kelly penned most of the new LP’s songs solo before working with in-demand producers/co-writers like DIXSON (Kehlani, Vic Mensa), Nija Charles (Summer Walker, Kiana Ledé), Emily Warren (Dua Lipa, Noah Kahan), and Ammo (Beyoncé, Teddy Swims).

Although the LP mostly came to life in Los Angeles with her two main collaborators, Tommy King (HAIM, Donna Missal) and Dan Farber (Lizzo, Alessia Cara), some songs surfaced while touring Europe in summer 2025 with Ed Sheeran.

This summer, Kelly will join GRAMMY-nominated and GMA DOVE Award-winning artist Forrest Frank for The Jesus Generation Tour. The tour will include 29 shows at arenas across the US, including Madison Square Garden in New York City, HersheyPark Stadium in Hershey, PA, Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, CA, and Moody Center in Austin, TX. The tour will kick off on June 1 in Tulsa, OK and conclude on August 1 at Globe Life Field. For more information and tickets, visit here.
