Background[edit]

On June 9, 2023, Lake released "Praise You Anywhere" as the lead single to his upcoming studio album slated for release in fall.[5] Lake shared the story behind the song, saying: "This song is about turning to praise in and out of every season. There are times when we're surrounded by storms and times when we're living in immense blessing… We light God's heart up when we simply praise no matter what we're facing. Your situation might not change, but choosing to praise will change your perspective. This will get your eyes off a storm and onto God. I hope as you listen to this song and choose to praise, you're encouraged, and your faith is lifted."[6]

Reception[edit]

Critical response[edit]

Jasmin Patterson of 89.5 KTSY opined that "Praise You Anywhere" isn't only a fun praise song to sing at the top of your lungs; it has a powerful message too. This song shows us that God isn't only worthy of our praise when things are going well in our lives. God is worthy of our praise anytime, anywhere, in any season. In this song, Brandon Lake sings about praising God in the fire, in the valley, in the lion's den, in the prison. He uses this imagery, pulled from actual biblical stories, to describe praising God in trials and challenging situations."[8]
