Nashville, Tenn. (April 25, 2025) — Curb Records multi-Platinum band Big Daddy Weave welcomes the wayward child home on their new song, “Stranger No More (feat. Zach Williams),” available today (4/25) — listen HERE. The latest release previews the group’s first album in six years, Let It Begin, which arrives May 23, 2025, and is currently available for fans to pre-add, pre-save and pre-order HERE.

A collaboration with multi-GRAMMY® Award winner Zach Williams, who penned the song with songwriting stalwarts Colby Wedgeworth and Ethan Hulse and presented it to the band, “Stranger No More” swells with the hope that we have a compassionate Savior who takes us in, in spite of our mistakes. Trading lines, Big Daddy Weave frontman Mike Weaver and Williams paint a beautiful picture of the unconditional love and safety that exists between our Heavenly Father and His children. The track was produced by Big Daddy Weave’s own Jeremy Redmon.

Big Daddy Weave welcomes a season of personal healing on Let It Begin, their long-awaited follow-up to 2019’s When The Light Comes. With songs that tell the story of a God who has met them in the depths of their grief and brought them restoration, the fresh set boasts selections of unwavering hope, including No. 1 hits “Heaven Changes Everything” and “God Is In This Story (feat. Katy Nichole),” emotional sendoff “Jaybird” and the anthemic title cut.

Giving fans an in-depth look at the stories behind the songs that shape Let It Begin, the group has unveiled “Cabin Conversations,” a series where Weaver sits down with co-writers and friends to discuss each track at length — watch HERE. More videos, stories and conversations will premiere in the remaining weeks leading up to the project’s release.

Already supporting the forthcoming collection out on the road, Big Daddy Weave wrapped the spring leg of their “Let It Begin Tour” Apr. 13 in Oklahoma. The trek saw numerous sell-outs across 20 dates that took them to cities throughout the Southeast and Midwest. They’ll resume the heralded outing in June with chart-topping singer-songwriter Ben Fuller and buzzworthy newcomer Megan Woods once again joining the lineup.

Pre-save, pre-add or pre-order Let It Begin HERE. Stream or purchase “Stranger No More (feat. Zach Williams)” HERE. For a complete list of tour dates, ticket options and more, visit www.bigdaddyweave.com.
