Gold-selling, Dove Award-winning pop recording artist and songwriter Jordan Feliz not only releases today (Oct. 16) his song "Next To Me" that Parade says is an "inspiring pop piece" that "you'll feel like dancing along to," but also reveals that his full-length album Say It is set to release Dec. 18 from Centricity Music. Available to pre-buy / pre-save now, the album includes immediate downloads / streams of "Next To Me," the Billboard hit song "Glorify" and confessional "Wounds."

Topping the Billboard Christian Albums chart when his sophomore LP, FUTURE, released in 2018, Feliz's trajectory for the new album was fraught with personal trials after success began to feel less like a blessing and more like a burden. Feliz suffered his first panic attack as he and his wife, Jamie, welcomed their second child and as he struggled to carry the weight of the spotlight and the livelihoods of multiple families connected to his career on his shoulders.

"It's like all your dreams kind of get handed to you, but there's really no fulfillment in it, and I realized that it was because everything was out of alignment for me," the singer reveals. "Nothing was in the right place in my heart or in my mind. I felt like I was letting a lot of people down."

Realigning his priorities and surrendering his anxiety to God, the hitmaker entered the studio to craft his third full-length project, Say It, with a renewed sense of identity and purpose.

With today's pop dance release, "Next To Me," Feliz shares in Parade's premiere of the live performance video that "this song is a push to give Him all your baggage, your ego, control and whatever else you think you should hide away. Because when you do, you find yourself closer to the Father than you ever thought possible."
