LOS ANGELES (Sept. 5, 2025) — Bethel Music’s Kristene DiMarco releases her latest single, “Song For My Children,” available today on all major streaming platforms. Accompanying the release is the official music video, premiering today as well. This heartfelt track serves as the lead single from her upcoming EP “MEMORADUM,” set to drop on October 3. Fans can also pre-save the EP starting today alongside the single’s release. Listen to “Song For My Children” here, watch the music video here, and pre-save the EP here.

“Song For My Children” is a deeply personal and hopeful letter to the next generation. Through vivid imagery and uplifting melodies, DiMarco invites listeners to cherish life’s precious moments and to plant seeds of love and purpose—even if they won’t witness the full bloom of their efforts.

“I wrote the song right when we moved after living somewhere for 15 years,” says DiMarco. “People have a tendency to pour everything they have into a place, into community, into people when they believe nothing’s going to change and they’ll be there forever. When we settled into our new house, I sat down at the piano and thought: What would I want to tell my kids about the transitions that life often brings? I’d want to tell them: Plant your trees anyway. Grow your flowers like you’ll stay—because the ones before you did the same, and they knew that to everything there’s a season, and our days on earth are few. So, plant the seeds in your pockets, even if they’re not for you.”

About Bethel Music:

Bethel Music is a worship movement pursuing the presence of God and capturing fresh expressions of worship out of Redding, California. Bethel Music has grown from a local church music ministry to an internationally renowned collective of songwriters, artists, and musicians. Brian and Jenn Johnson co-founded the movement in 2001 to raise up worshippers, take hold of their true identities, and pursue intimacy with God, above all else.

Since 2001, Bethel Music has released 27 albums, including their most recent live worship album, We Must Respond (2025), Moments: Wait (2024), Simple (2022), Homecoming (Live) (2021), Revival’s In The Air (Live) (2020), and many more. Each album carries a unique theme and features some of the most well-recognized artists in the genre. Bethel Music was also GRAMMY® nominated for the song “Holy Forever” feat. Jenn Johnson and CeCe Winans, and in 2024, won the Dove award for “Holy Forever” for “Best Song of the Year.” In 2021, the label was nominated for six Dove Awards, and another 11 in 2022, spanning across categories like “Songwriter of the Year,” “Worship Album of the Year,” and “Inspirational and Rock/Contemporary Song of the Year.” Additionally, the worship collective recently earned three 2025 Dove Award nominations — two for We Must Respond (Live) in the categories of Worship Album of the Year and Recorded Music Packaging of the Year, and one for “Christmas Morning” in the Christmas/Special Event Album of the Year category.

Since forming, Bethel Music has broken records, ranking in CCLI's Top 25 songs since 2013. Their song, “Goodness of God,” was ranked #1 for over three years."
