GRAMMY-nominated, Platinum-selling Newsboys are back. They have just released their new single "Magnetic." This is their first single for Capitol CMG and their first single since their 2019 album UNITED. Listen to the song here.

"Magnetic" is written by Michael Tait, Bryan Fowler, Andrew Jacob Pruis & Micah Kuiper. The song speaks about how God's love keeps drawing us back to him even through times when we are drifting away. The band sings, "Your goodness won't give up on me/It's a fountain flowin' so deep/You're so patient and so gracious/It's unconditional."

The song is a labor of love for the band. "We've been working on this project for a while now and we are so stoked to finally share it with you all," the band shared on social media.

Fans have warmed up to the song instanteously. One fan writes, "This song attracted my attention like a magnet. Huh." Another notes, "This song is just what I needed. I lost a friend to a car accident this week. And this has helped me though this though time. Bless the Lord."

"This sounds like Newsboys are coming back with the hits again! A car banger, summer tune like we definitely need. I think the energy that the Tait era Newsboys songs have are a breath of fresh air. Not just for Christian music, but for the industry in general. To have Newsboys return to form like this makes me excited for their new music more than I have been since 'Restart'."

"Wonderful lyrics reminding me that the Lord is always there, no matter our doubt or fear - thanks be to God!!! Thank you, Newsboys, for another great song of faith!!!"

"Magnetic" is now available for downloads/streaming.

[Verse 1]
As soon as I open up my eyes
It's the same voice on the inside
Already (Already) so heavy (Heavy)
Weighin' on my soul

[Verse 2]
All the fear all the worry (All the worry)
All the heart ache all the hurting (All the hurting)
Collidin' with Your light and
Tryna steal my hope

[Pre-Chorus]
Some days I break
I lose my way
More doubt than faith

[Chorus]
But every time I'm in that fight
Your love keeps pullin' me back, pullin' me back
It's magnetic (Magnetic)
I've pushed away but I can't escape
Your love keeps pullin' me back, pullin' mе back
It's magnetic (Magnetic)

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 3]
Your goodness won't give up on me
It's a fountain flowin' so deep
You're so patient and so gracious
It's unconditional

[Verse 4]
Even when I try to go my own way
Even when my heart is in the wrong place
You bring it back around like a boomerang
Just like a boomerang

[Chorus]
'Cause every time I'm in that fight
Your love keeps pullin' me back, pullin' me back
It's magnetic (Magnetic)
I've pushed away but I can't escape

Just when I think that I'm outta reach
Your love, Your mercy keep pullin' me, pullin' me
Oh, I can feel it, feel it, feel it
It's changin' me
No more searchin', it's clear to see
Everything that I used to be is history
Oh, I can feel it, feel it, feel it
