Songfacts®:

• "Everything Hallelujah" is Justin Bieber's celebration of gratitude, domesticity, and spiritual wonder at the ordinary. The song's central idea is that everyday moments - a morning walk, kissing his wife, brushing his teeth - are all worthy of praise.
• "Hallelujah" is a transliteration of the Hebrew "hallelu-Yah," meaning "praise God." By attaching it to mundane activities, Bieber transforms the sacred into the domestic and vice versa. The word's centuries of religious weight amplify even the smallest lines, giving the song a hymn-like quality. Bieber acknowledges the sentiment when he sings:
  
  I could sing a song but the words just wouldn't do
  So I said hallelujah, hallelujah, baby
  
  "Hallelujah" is the only word adequate for the feeling.
• Bieber addresses his wife, Hailey, referencing her directly in the bridge. Their son Jack Blues Bieber is also named, as are two pets, Oscar and Piggy. When Bieber sang the song at Coachella in April 2026, he paused to gaze into the camera and sing the names of his wife and son directly, a moment described as among the most emotional of the entire performance.
• "Everything Hallelujah" sits comfortably in a lineage of Bieber songs about his Christian faith. The clearest parallel to "Everything Hallelujah" is Bieber's Freedom EP, a six-track gospel project released on Easter Sunday 2021. The title track, "Freedom" (with Beam), is an explicitly worshipful song about surrendering control to God.
  
  "Holy" (featuring Chance the Rapper), from the Justice album, is the most commercially successful of Bieber's faith-influenced songs. While it does address Hailey, it frames romantic love as a gift from God and uses spiritual language throughout.
  
  Bieber also participated in live worship sessions with Chandler Moore of Maverick City Music at Churchome, where he performed "Jireh" (an Elevation Worship/Maverick City Music track) alongside his own Freedom track "Where Do I Fit In."
• Justin Bieber wrote the song with Carter Lang, Eddie Benjamin, Dylan Wiggins, Eli Teplin, Daniel Chetrit, Jackson Lee Morgan and Tobias Jesso Jr., and recorded it for his Swag II album. It was produced by Carter Lang, Eddie Benjamin, Dylan Wiggins, Eli Teplin.
  
  Carter Lang is the central architect of the Swag project, credited as a producer or co-producer on 17 tracks from the original Swag album alone. Lang also helped shape SZA's Ctrl and SOS albums, co-writing and producing smashes like "Good Days," "I Hate U" and "Kill Bill."
  
  Eddie Benjamin is an Australian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist based in Los Angeles who met Bieber through a mutual friend and later toured with him on the 2022 Justice World Tour. He appears as a featured artist elsewhere on Swag II (on "Open Up Your Heart") and brings a soulful, R&B-influenced sensibility to his collaborations with Bieber.
  
  Tobias Jesso Jr. is a Canadian singer-songwriter who co-wrote extensively across both Swag and Swag II. His other credits include Adele's "To Be Loved," Harry Styles' "Boyfriends," Dua Lipa's "Houdini."
  
  Dylan Wiggins, Eli Teplin, Daniel Chetrit, Jackson Lee Morgan all contributed to multiple tracks on the two Swag albums, helping shape its sound.
• Swag II is Bieber's eighth album, surprise-released on September 5, 2025. An expanded edition of the original Swag, "Everything Hallelujah" is positioned late in the tracklist followed by "Story of God," reinforcing that the album's closing stretch is consciously devotional in tone.
• The song gained major traction after Bieber performed it during both weekends of Coachella, on April 11 and April 18, 2026, as part of an intimate acoustic segment mid-show. On TikTok, users turned the song's repeated "hallelujah" hook into a gratitude-listing format, with everyone from fans to celebrities like Kylie Jenner and Hailey Bieber joining in. The trend, sometimes tagged #hallelujah or #everythinghallelujah, generated hundreds of thousands of videos.
• When "Everything Hallelujah" debuted at #6 on Billboard's Hot Christian Songs chart (dated May 2, 2026), it notched Bieber's first Top 10 on that tally, a milestone that might warrant a small, quiet hallelujah of its own.
• Bieber performed this song at the 2026 World Cup final in New Jersey as part of the first-ever halftime show staged for the event. The headliners for the show were announced as Shakira, Madonna and BTS, which seems like more than enough star power, but Bieber was later announced as a co-headliner. The other performers stuck to high-energy hits, but Bieber showed up with an acoustic guitar and walked around singing "Everything Hallelujah," not exactly a stadium stomper. It was a dampener, but did sync with the sentimental vibe of the show, which later featured school children (and Coldplay) singing about love. Bieber's performance was introduced by a Ted Lasso bit where Jason Sudeikis (in character) gave him a pep talk before sending him onto the field.
