Anne Wilson’s breakthrough single, “My Jesus,” was released on April 16, 2021, on the Capitol Christian Music Group label. This song, co-written by Wilson, Matthew West, and Jeff Pardo, is a powerful blend of Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) and country genres, reflecting Wilson’s Kentucky roots. The track is the lead single from her debut album of the same name, which was released a year later on April 22, 2022. The single version of the song also included two other tracks, “Devil” and “Something About That Name.” A duet version of “My Jesus” featuring Crowder was later released on October 22, 2021. The song’s genesis came from a place of profound personal tragedy for Wilson, as it was inspired by the death of her older brother, Jacob, in a car accident. This deeply personal origin story and her authentic vocal delivery resonated with listeners, launching her career.

The song had a significant impact on the Christian music scene, marking a major debut for Anne Wilson. It became a record-breaking hit, becoming the largest new artist debut single launch for Capitol Christian Music Group in ten years and making Wilson the first female solo artist to top the Billboard Christian Airplay chart since its inception in 2003. “My Jesus” reached number one on the US Hot Christian Songs, Christian Airplay, and Bubbling Under Hot 100 charts. The track was recognized with a GMA Dove Award for Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year and received nominations for Song of the Year and a Billboard Music Award for Top Christian Song. The success of the single paved the way for her debut album and cemented Wilson as a new and influential voice in Christian music, blending the sounds of country and worship in a way that continues to connect with a wide audience.
