Jelly Roll And Brandon Lake Are Taking Their “Hard Fought Hallelujah” To The Global Stage
Brandon Lake released his “Hard Fought Hallelujah” collaboration with Jelly Roll in February 2025. Although the worship singer initially released the song in 2024.
He later chose to add an artist whose story fit the moving single.
In a KLOVE interview, Lake shared,
“I wanted to share this song with somebody that had a really beautiful and hard-fought story, and the first person that came to mind was Jelly.”

Jelly Roll stands as a symbol of a transformed life.
He expressed his honor in collaborating with Brandon Lake on the single, saying,
“I’m honored that I was the call. I’m a Brandon Lake fan… What he’s doing for Christian music, even outside of Christian music — he’s taking it further than I’ve seen anybody take it in a long time.”
The duo has showcased their song on numerous global platforms, including the Grand Ole Opry and American Idol.
