Hannah Hobbs Calls Hearts Back To God With New Single “FIRST”
Hannah Hobbs Shares Heart Behind Upcoming Song “Hill of Grace”
Hannah Hobbs Calls Hearts Back To God With New Single “FIRST.” A fresh call to realign hearts and priorities is echoing through the worship music space today as Hannah Hobbs releases her latest single, “FIRST”, out now on February 6, 2026, with global availability across streaming platforms.
The celebrated Australian worship leader, songwriter, and former Hillsong Church creative pastor brings an upbeat, congregational sound that centres on one clear message: God belongs first. The song speaks directly to the noise and distractions of everyday life, urging listeners to intentionally place their faith above everything competing for attention. Hobbs explains that the idea was born from a simple yet confronting reality.
“So much competes for first place in our lives. A million things are constantly screaming for our attention,” she says. “FIRST is a reminder to keep God ahead of everything else, because He alone deserves the number one place in our hearts.”
Co-written with trusted collaborators Ben Fielding, Reuben Morgan, and Ben Tan, the track reflects the collective songwriting experience of some of modern worship’s most influential voices. The lyrics are intentionally simple and prayerful, making the song easy to sing while carrying a powerful spiritual focus.
From its opening lines, the song declares God’s supremacy over heaven, earth, personal plans, and daily pursuits. Repeated affirmations such as “First in my heart, first in my life” and “Let the Kingdom of God be first” reinforce its central theme of surrender.
The chorus rises with joyful praise, celebrating God’s worthiness, while the bridge builds into a reverent moment of worship that invites voices to join together in unified exaltation.
“FIRST” also represents a significant independent chapter for Hobbs, who has previously helped shape globally sung worship anthems, including “Thank You Jesus” and “Touch of Heaven.” Her continued influence is evident as she balances heartfelt theology with accessible melodies.
Now streaming on all major platforms, including Spotify, and accompanied by an official music video on YouTube, “FIRST” is already generating excitement among worship leaders and listeners. With its timely message and congregational appeal, the song is quickly emerging as a strong contender for church setlists and personal worship playlists alike.
