Global Dancehall Icon, Spice, kicks off the new year with a soul-touching and triumphant new chapter in her musical journey with the highly anticipated release of her gospel single and visual, “God Don’t Play About Me.” Debuting on Friday, January 9, 2026, the new track showcases Spice’s evolution and creativity as an artist, highlighting one of the most spiritually charged moments of her life and her career.

Written by Spice, “God Don’t Play About Me” is an uplifting, faith-driven anthem inspired by her real-life testimony of overcoming her fatal, near-death experience. After nearly losing her life in 2022, Spice experienced a spiritual awakening that transformed how she sees God, herself, and her purpose. The lyrics on the track express an impactful message–a direct message to God from Spice herself, giving Him praise and thanks for a second chance at life. The song blends Spice’s Caribbean influence with an upbeat Gospel fusion, serving as a triumphant celebration to the battles she has faced and overcome with God by her side. In the song, Spice addresses the voices that doubted her, and the storms meant to break her, all while boldly affirming that it was God’s grace and favor that carried her through it all.

Shot in Atlanta, and Directed by D. Baines of PalmTree Picture, in conjunction with SteadyCam operation, Ray Ray Films, Mike Dank, and Gaffer Rakeem Bland, “God Don’t Play About Me” brings the song’s message to life through rich, spiritual storytelling. The video showcases a visual of an old school Sunday sermon mixed with today’s cultural fashion, along with an intimate audio conversation between Spice and her beloved mother, reflecting on returning to church and the steadfast nature of Almighty God. As Spice enters the church, she leads the charge to worship illustrating the tension between earthly pressures and spiritual grounding.

Throughout the visual, Spice is portrayed in moments of solitude, strength, and surrender while embodying multiple roles ranging from devoted congregant to preacher and organ player, boldly expressing her love, faith, and unwavering devotion to God. Her dynamic presence reinforces the central theme of steadfast faith and resilience, alongside celebrity cameos including Rasheeda & Kirk Frost, Sierra Glam Shop, Xzavia Thomas, Shekinah Jo, Jessie Woo, Spice’s children Nicholas and Nicholatoy, her mother Angela, and Pastor Little, all joining together in a collective celebration of praise.

“I want people to feel encouraged listening to this song and video and be reminded that God is real and intentional in their lives,” says Spice. “If you’ve ever survived something that only God could carry you through, this song is for you — God don’t play about you.”

Spice’s latest release marks a defining moment in her artistic evolution, one that honors her journey while boldly proclaiming the power of faith. 

“God Don’t Play About Me” is distributed through Spice’s independent record label, Spice Official Entertainment.
