“Can’t Steal My Joy,” the latest single from Josiah Queen featuring Brandon Lake, delivers a powerful message of hope.
Rising star Josiah Queen has teamed up with five-time GRAMMY® winner Brandon Lake for his latest single, “Can’t Steal My Joy.” Released under Capitol Records/Capitol Christian Music Group, the song is a powerful declaration of resilience, written by Queen, Lake, Hank Bentley, and Jacob Sooter, who also produced the track.
The single has already generated significant excitement, with teaser clips shared by Queen accumulating over five million combined views on social media. Speaking about the inspiration behind the song, Queen says, “It says in the Bible ‘the joy of the Lord is our strength.’ All of my life, the enemy has tried to rob me of my joy, but he can’t have something he never gave me.”
Queen’s career has been marked by rapid success, including his debut album, The Prodigal, which topped Billboard’s Top Christian Albums chart and earned recognition on year-end playlists from Apple Music and Spotify. Tracks like “I am Barabbas” and “The Prodigal” have amassed millions of streams, with the latter alone surpassing 82 million plays. 
Following a sold-out U.S. tour in 2024, Queen is set to embark on a global headline tour beginning in March 2025. As he celebrates his 22nd birthday, Josiah Queen’s journey, from sharing music on TikTok to becoming one of Amazon Music’s Breakthrough Artists to Watch, is a testament to his talent and faith-driven message.
