Phil Wickham announces 'The King Is In The Room'

Press Release

Multi-Platinum-selling modern worship artist Phil Wickham released a brand-new single, “The King Is In The Room," along with the official music video last Friday. Premiering exclusively with the national worship radio network Air1, listeners had the first chance to hear the song at the top of every hour all day as part of the “Air1 First” program.

Check out “The King Is In The Room” now, as well as the fun, upbeat music video below. 

“ ‘The King Is In The Room’ was written to set the table for the church as we gather in worship – not just because it carries joy and energy, but because of the truth it declares,” Wickham shared. “This song awakens our hearts to the reality that we are not just a group of people singing in an empty room, but the king – Jesus, the Holy Spirit – is present with us, ready to set people free as we focus on him.”

This new single is Wickham's first in 2025 and is set to be his largest debut to date. This release follows his 2024 Grammy-nominated album, “I Believe,” which went No. 1 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart. "The King Is In The Room" was co-written by Wickham, Ethan Hulse, Josh Farro, Phil Danyew, Tommy Iceland and Taylor Johnson.
