GRAMMY winner and new Curb Records artist Lloyd Nicks delivers another open-hearted, transparent original with “We Won’t,” out today — listen here. In addition to sharing the freshly minted recording, Nicks’ “A Little More,” which bowed in April, officially impacts Christian radio June 8.
Confessing his inability to believe he’s worthy of grace, the newcomer relinquishes his expectations in favor of giving God time and space to move on “We Won’t.” The mid-tempo selection showcases Nicks’ buttery vocal as he invites the Church to remove any form of pretense. The song’s bridge gets particularly raw and real, crescendoing into a final refrain of surrender. Nicks wrote the fresh selection with Daniel Bashta and Ben Smith. Meanwhile, Kyle Williams produced the track. Following his emotional debut, “Heal For You,” and its pop-centric successor, “A Little More,” “We Won’t” continues to introduce Nicks’ compelling story.
His latest release strips the filter off the more complex chapters of his personal narrative that include childhood abuse, his father’s longterm incarceration, the loss of his mother on his 26th birthday and even suicidal thoughts. “What I survived could have buried me, but God had a different plan. I’m done hiding the parts of my story that I thought were ‘too much’ for the Church,” Nicks says of the traumatic events that inspired “We Won’t.” “I’m a living witness God can use your brokenness.”
Following buzzworthy performances at South by Southwest (SXSW) in Austin and Tin Pan South in Nashville earlier this spring, next up, Nicks will premiere new music for key radio programmers next week at Momentum, the Christian Music Broadcasters’ (CMB) marquee conference held annually in Orlando. He’ll appear at Kingdom Bound in July.
Already a GRAMMY® winner, three-time GMA Dove Award nominee and Billboard Music Award winner, Nicks signed a recording contract with Curb in 2025. His award-winning hit, CeCe Winans’ “That’s My King,” remained at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Gospel Songs chart for an impressive 49 weeks.
