Rachel Purcell Releases Debut Centricity Music Radio Single, 'Show Up', Country Star Returns to Christian Music Roots With Hopeful, Energetic Tune
Muscle Shoals, AL native, songwriter and dynamic vocalist Rachel Purcell releases her debut Centricity Music radio single, 'Show Up,' which is available now at streaming and digital outlets worldwide (Jan. 10). Mirroring Purcell’s personality with an upbeat melody and optimistic lyrics, “Show Up” grasps fans with the relatable yearning for God to make Himself known in the midst of the ordinary. This song serves as the first big step in Purcell’s move to Christian music after years of critically-acclaimed success in the country genre under maiden name Rachel Wammack.
Purcell, a lifelong Christian music fan who grew up singing in church, co-wrote “Show Up” with Trannie Anderson (Lainey Wilson, Anne Wilson) and the song’s producer, Jeff Pardo (Matthew West, Katy Nichole). The soulful pop selection showcases a vibrant retro flavor reminiscent of the sounds that originated in Muscle Shoals.
“God has shown up for me in times when I had no idea what to do or how to pick myself up or even when I didn’t want to get out of bed,” shares Purcell. “Sometimes you write something you think you’re writing for other people, only to later realize you needed it. I feel like I wrote this song for ‘future me’ as much as I wrote it for ‘present me.’ I’m praying this song will be helpful for a lot of people, meeting them where they’re at, like it met me.”
(“Show Up” chorus)
Show up and fill my cup from empty to overflowing
Show up and give me what I’m needing in this moment
If there’s a mountain, there’s a mountain gonna move
If there’s a fire, there’s a fire that you’ll walk me through
Every promise that you promise is true
Can’t wait to see what you’re gonna do
When you show up, show up
Purcell signed an exclusive, worldwide recording and publishing contract with Centricity Music last year following a season of major label success that included collaborations with Blessing Offor, Reba McEntire, Rascal Flatts and Trisha Yearwood. She releases “Show Up” as the first of several new songs of praise that align with her most authentic self, promising additional tracks in 2025 that similarly showcase her unwavering faith.
