"God Really Loves Us" is a song performed by Crowder and Dante Bowe featuring Maverick City Music. It was released on June 3, 2022, as the third single from Crowder's fourth studio album, Milk & Honey (2021). [1] Crowder co-wrote the song with Ben Glover, Dante Bowe, and Jeff Sojka. [2]
"God Really Loves Us" peaked at No. 3 on the US Hot Christian Songs chart, [3] and No. 1 on the Hot Gospel Songs chart. [4] The song was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song at the 2023 Grammy Awards. [5] At the 2023 GMA Dove Awards, "God Really Loves Us" was nominated for the Song of the Year award. [6]
"God Really Loves Us" was initially released as the seventh track on Crowder's album, Milk & Honey, on June 11, 2021. [7] On June 3, 2022, Crowder and Dante Bowe released the radio version of "God Really Loves Us" on digital formats, becoming the third single from the album, following " Good God Almighty" and " In the House". [8]
"God Really Loves Us" is composed in the key of

8.
[9]
Timothy Yap of JubileeCast said of the song: "One of the soon-to-be-classic-worship-tune is the sublime "God Really Loves Us." Teaming up with Dante Bowe and Maverick City Music, "God Really Loves Us" begins softly before exploding into a dynamic full-Gospel-choir celebration." [10] Reviewing for Jesus Freak Hideout, John Underdown explicitly listed "God Really Loves Us" as one of the songs from Milk & Honey which were earworms and had lyrics with some powerful moments. [11] Kelly Meade of Today's Christian Entertainment opined that "This ballad stands out with its emotionally moving piano arrangement & choir-like backing vocals." [12]
