TAYA Announces Cody Carnes Feature On Upcoming Single “One And Only” Taya Gaukrodger, the celebrated worship leader known globally as TAYA and formerly part of Hillsong UNITED, has sparked heartfelt anticipation across the Christian music community with exciting news about her upcoming single, “ONE AND ONLY.”
Taking to Instagram with pure joy, Taya revealed that the song will now feature a special guest appearance from acclaimed worship artist Cody Carnes. The announcement adds deeper meaning to a track that already carries significant personal weight. Taya co-wrote the song alongside Carnes and songwriter Jessie Early, making the collaboration feel like a beautiful full-circle moment.
The worship leader shared how much the song means to her, describing it as something that has felt natural and grace-filled every time she has led it. According to Taya, there has always been a gentle ease in singing it live, almost as if the melody carries itself.
Her playful reveal of Cody Carnes’ feature was filled with excitement, describing it as a joyful surprise for listeners. Behind the scenes, however, the collaboration had been quietly discussed for some time. Producer Riley Bowman had long hinted at the possibility, and when the opportunity finally aligned, the team moved quickly to make it happen.
Although international travel initially complicated recording plans, producer Austin Davis stepped in to coordinate the process remotely. The finished product exceeded expectations. Taya described Carnes’ contribution as smooth and rich, adding a warmth that elevates the entire track.
Hearing the final mix proved to be an emotional moment for her. She admitted feeling both delighted and moved to tears as their voices blended in harmony, declaring the truth about God’s beloved Son.
“ONE AND ONLY” stands as a bold proclamation of worship centred on Jesus Christ as the singular and holy Saviour. The lyrics invite listeners to behold the Lamb, reflect on the Man upon the cross, and join in a soaring chorus that declares, “Holy holy, You are the one and only.” It is both intimate and triumphant, designed for personal reflection and corporate worship alike.
The featured version is set to release on Friday, February 27, and will be available across streaming platforms worldwide. Fans can expect a powerful addition to Taya’s growing collection of worship anthems.
With Carnes’ distinctive voice joining hers, this new rendition of “ONE AND ONLY” is poised to resonate even more deeply with believers celebrating the unmatched glory of Christ.
