Chance The Rapper Talks About “Holy”

Chance the Rapper talked about the sentiment he holds for his Bieber “Holy” collaboration on The Ellen DeGeneres Show this week. He recalled how the track came about as a testament to both stars’ faith and to their relationships with their wives, Kirsten Corley and Hailey Bieber.

On Ellen he said, “He [Justin] hit me up, and I was thinking he was calling me about our other song “I’m The One” [by DJ Khaled featuring Quavo and Lil Wayne] ‘cause it’s getting close to being a diamond record at this point. So I thought he was calling me to update me on sales. He’s calling me about another record. He’s like, ‘Yo, I got this brand new song. I don’t care about the old records. I want to make another song.’ I was like, ‘All right, I’m down to make as many as you want.’”

Chance added, “So we made another one, this “Holy” record. It was really special to me because me and Justin are close. We’re a year apart, we got married at the same age, kind of like gone through a lot of the stuff together. And the song was about our relationship with our wives, our relationship with our faith. He thought it was “cool” many people are “connecting” with the lyrics. The track is “definitely one of the most special records that we’ve made.”
