NASHVILLE, Tenn.—Celebrating the God of second chances, acclaimed singer/songwriter Justin Gambino returns with the highly anticipated “Just Like Jesus,” his first new single in nearly two years. Produced by Walter Halliwell and penned by Gambino, Halliwell and James Tealy, the folk-rock anthem marks Gambino’s debut for Residence Music, a Centricity Music imprint.
 
Boasting a joyful, declarative chorus backed by an impassioned Gospel choir, “Just Like Jesus” draws inspiration from Gambino’s own prodigal journey. Recalling his surrender to Christ after years of rebellion, Gambino’s gratitude is evident as he sings, “Ain’t it just like Jesus to leave the 99 for the one/Ain’t it just like Jesus to throw a party for a prodigal son.”
 
“I resonate deeply with the message of the Prodigal Son,” he says. “How can I not be moved by this simple story that Jesus used to express the power of the Father's love? I was on my own wayward journey for a long time—16 years to be exact. I stood before the judge in a Brazoria County courtroom at the age of 18, and I now lead revivals on the lawn of that same courthouse each year.”
 
“I hope ‘Just Like Jesus’ will remind others, as it does me, of the certainty of God's relentless love,” Gambino adds. “Every year when I find myself onstage in front of the courthouse, I remember that God never gave up on me returning home. May this song point us in the direction of Jesus and encourage us to be just like Him—forgiving, loving, caring and filled with mercy and grace for those around us. May others see Jesus in us.” 
 
The first in a string of new singles he's poised to unveil, "Just Like Jesus" will also be featured on Gambino's debut Residence Music EP slated for release later this year.
 
ABOUT JUSTIN GAMBINO
Since 2015, acclaimed Texas-based singer/songwriter Justin Gambino has been developing an enthusiastic following across the United States and around the world with his charismatic live performances and hope-filled anthems. With an EP, two full-length recordings and numerous cinematic music videos to his credit, Gambino’s signature songs include “Courage,” “Fighting On My Behalf,” “Your Hands & Feet,” and “Anchored.” In 2024, he was named Artist of the Year Christian/Gospel/Inspirational Male at the 10th Annual Josie Music Awards, the largest independent music awards show in the world. Gambino has performed at festivals, churches, camps and other venues, opening for such genre leaders as TobyMac, for KING + COUNTRY, Crowder, Casting Crowns, Skillet and Switchfoot.
 
Gambino’s prodigal journey is an overarching theme in his music and ministry. A rebellious teen, he was arrested for theft at the age of 18. Opting for military enlistment and community service in lieu of incarceration, he spent eight years in the US Navy. While serving in Iraq, Gambino was asked to lead worship on base, rekindling a love for music he first embraced as a child. Battling PTSD and anger issues following his military service, Gambino turned to alcohol and spiraled into depression and despair. One night, on the floor of his apartment, he cried out to God for help and a new journey of redemption, hope and purpose began. Coming full circle, Gambino now holds the Brazoria County Revival each year on the steps of the Texas courthouse where he was sentenced as a teen.
