Glorious (feat. Skylar Grey)

Macklemore is in a good place on this gospel-flavored positivity anthem. Released as the first single from his Gemini album, the song reflects the cheerful mood the Seattle native was in as he laid down the tracks. "I was happy and at home with my baby girl and my lady," Macklemore told ABC Radio, referring to his daughter Sloane and wife Tricia. "And [I was recording] downstairs in the basement and everything was just good. So I think there's definitely a certain spirit to the album that defines where I'm at in my life at this point."

The song features a gospel-inspired hook from Skylar Grey and it was the songstress who came up with the title. "I picked that word," Grey said. "The first time I heard his verses and I heard him say 'glorious,' I was like, 'Oh my gosh, that's the title. That has to be the song.'"

The track isn't credited to longtime producer Ryan Lewis. Instead the instrumentation is supplied by Budo, who also worked on Macklemore's 2016 single "Wednesday Morning."
