Not only are Reba McEntire and Christian singer Lauren Daigle teaming up to perform “Back to God” at the ACM Awards show on April 2, but the pair is also releasing the duet to digital retailers the same day.

Reba initially recorded the song on her new album, Sing It Now: Songs of Faith & Hope, which dropped in February and reached No. 1 on both Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart and Christian chart.

“I’m thrilled to have Lauren’s incredible voice add another layer to this song,” said Reba. “It’s been really special to see how people are connecting to the message of ‘Back to God,’ and I’m looking forward to our live performance on the ACM Awards.”

“I grew up listening to country music with my dad on the way to school,” added Lauren. “It is such a full-circle moment to now be singing ‘Back to God’ with Reba on the ACM Awards. This opportunity offers a new platform to share hope and redemption, and I’m excited for us to collaborate in showing the world His unconditional love.”

Tune in to the ACM Awards on Sunday, April 2, on CBS to catch Reba and Lauren’s performance of “Back to God.”
