“Hey, when I die, play Jay Park’s Mommae at my funeral.” My friend jokingly replied, “I’ll dance on top of your coffin.”
For the longest time, I found Christian music dull and unengaging. No matter how much I tried, I just couldn’t connect with it. I used to think all Christian songs sounded like Chris Tomlin’s—not to discredit him; he’s a talented artist—but I naturally gravitated toward secular music. The beats and melodies felt more dynamic and captivating. I’ve always been the type of listener who values rhythm and melody over lyrics.
But over time, secular music started to sound increasingly dark to me. So many songs revolved around sex, drugs, and outright sin. I began paying closer attention to the lyrics, and whenever I heard the word “Devil” in a song, I couldn’t continue listening—something about it deeply unsettled me.
What we consume shapes us—whether it’s music, movies, food, or entertainment. All of it impacts our spirit. It can influence the way we think, feel, and even behave. I noticed that when I listened to a lot of “ratchet” music, I felt more drawn toward promiscuous behavior. It didn’t sit right with me anymore.
I realized I didn’t want to keep feeding my soul with content that was having a negative impact on me mentally and spiritually. That’s why I’ve started transitioning to Christian music. And honestly, I’m really glad I made that change. I’ve discovered so many incredible Christian artists and songs—Forrest Frank, in particular, is an amazing Christian hip-hop artist. His music is not only uplifting but also genuinely good.
Discovering artists like him has made this journey exciting. It’s refreshing to find music that lifts my spirit rather than drains it. Little by little, my desire for secular music is fading.
So… farewell to Jay Park’s Mommae. I once thought it would be on my funeral playlist—along with a few of his other tracks—but yeah… I’m officially scrapping that plan LOL.
