"Daddy’s DNA," co-written by Lake, Hank Bentley, and Jacob Sooter, is a raw, introspective anthem inspired by the Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32). With lyrics like, “I went runnin’ like a rebel, racked up debts I couldn’t pay… All I’ve given You was trouble, all You’ve given me was grace,” the song narrates a journey of rebellion, regret, and redemption, culminating in the realization of God’s unwavering grace. Lake calls it “maybe my favorite song I’ve ever written,” noting its personal resonance for those honest about their brokenness.
Accompanied by a soulful music video on YouTube, the track blends Lake’s southern roots with acoustic intensity, produced by Bentley and Sooter. Its emotional storytelling has sparked widespread acclaim, with Jelly Roll praising it as “song of the year” after a preview, and fans driving over 1 million Spotify streams in its first week. Posts on X highlight its impact, with listeners calling it a “beautiful confession” and a “heartfelt” reflection of faith.
As Lake prepares for his King of Hearts Tour across 48 cities in Fall 2025 and Spring 2026, "Daddy’s DNA" sets the tone for an album he describes as a call to connect with the “King of hearts” for those longing for their Creator. The single’s success follows Lake’s viral hit “Hard Fought Hallelujah” featuring Jelly Roll, reinforcing his ability to bridge Christian and mainstream audiences.
Fans can stream or download "Daddy’s DNA" on platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and Amazon Music.
