"Reckless Love" is a song by Cory Asbury and it was released on October 27, 2017, as the lead single from his second studio album of the same name, Reckless Love (2018), via Bethel Music.[1] The song also appeared on the album Bethel Music en Español (2019). The song was written by Caleb Culver, Cory Asbury and Ran Jackson,[2] with production being handled by Jason Ingram and Paul Mabury.[3]
"Reckless Love" became Cory Asbury's first No. 1 single on the US Hot Christian Songs chart, issued by Billboard, in March 2018,[4] and went on to peak at No. 3 on Billboard's Bubbling Under Hot 100, thus becoming his highest charting entry in his career. The song was ranked by Billboard as the biggest Christian song in 2018,[5] and the fourth biggest Christian song of the 2010s.[6]
In January 2020, Cory Asbury released a new version of "Reckless Love" which featured Tori Kelly, and a devotional book titled Reckless Love: A 40-Day Journey Into the Overwhelming, Never-Ending Love of God.[9]
Background
"Reckless Love" is a song written by Caleb Culver, Cory Asbury and Ran Jackson,[10] which became popular when a live video of Bethel Music artist Steffany Gretzinger leading the song in a worship service at Bethel Church in Redding, California was published on YouTube in early 2017, accruing over 14 million views as of November 2018.[11] Cory Asbury then released the song as an official single through Bethel Music in digital format in October 2017.
On January 5, 2018, the radio version of "Reckless Love" by Asbury was also released by Bethel Music in digital format,[12] and set to impact Christian radio on February 16, 2018.[13] However, the track was already spinning at radio stations across the United States three weeks prior to the impact date.[14][15]
On January 8, 2020, Billboard announced that Cory Asbury had collaborated with Tori Kelly on the recording of a new version of "Reckless Love" which was intended to revive the song whilst promoting the release of his devotional, Reckless Love: A 40-Day Journey Into the Overwhelming, Never-Ending Love of God, which was released on January 7.[16] The new recording, which was produced by Lael, was released on January 10, 2020.[17]
Writing and development
Cory Asbury told the story behind the song whilst leading it in worship at the Heaven Come Conference 2017, an event held by Bethel Music,[18][19] citing the Parable of the Lost Sheep in Luke 15 as a scriptural reference point saying:
When I used the phrase, 'the reckless love of God,' when we say it, we're not saying that God Himself is reckless, He's not crazy. We are, however, saying that the way He loves, is in many regards, quite so. But what I mean is this: He's utterly unconcerned with the consequences of His own actions with regard to His own safety, comfort and well-being. ... He doesn't wonder what He'll gain or lose by putting Himself on the line, He simply puts Himself out there on the off-chance that you and I might look back at Him and give Him that love in return. His love leaves the ninety nine to find the one every time and to many practical adults that's a foolish concept. Well, what if He loses the ninety nine in finding the one, right? What if, finding that one lost sheep is and always will be supremely important?
The song is composed in the key of G♭ (G-flat) and has a tempo of 83 beats per minute.[20] Asbury's vocal range spans from D♭4 to A♭5 throughout the song.[21]
Commercial performance
"Reckless Love" was Cory Asbury's debut entry on the US Hot Christian Songs chart, initially appearing at No. 16 as issued by Billboard on November 18, 2017,[22] whilst topping the Christian Digital Song Sales chart as well.[23]Billboard reported that in the week ending February 1, 2018, the single broke through the top ten of the Hot Christian Songs chart, peaking at No. 7 due to significant increases in streaming and radio airplay.[24][25]
"Reckless Love" attained the No. 1 spot on the US Hot Christian Songs chart according to an online article issued by Billboard dated March 1, 2018.[26] The song has been No. 1 on Christian Songs for eighteen non-consecutive weeks. Asbury's single went on to become his first No. 1 on the Christian Airplay chart issued by Billboard, dated April 14, 2018, after major gains in radio airplay.[27] The song spent 68 weeks in total on the Hot Christian Songs chart, spending 53 weeks in the Top 10. It was ranked as the top Christian Song of 2018 by Billboard.
Music videos
The official audio video of "Reckless Love", showcasing the single's cover art, was uploaded on the YouTube channel of Bethel Music on October 28, 2017.[28] The live music video which also includes the song story, performed and narrated by Cory Asbury, alongside Jenn Johnson and Brooke Ligertwood, recorded at the Heaven Come Conference 2017 at the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles, California was published on November 23, 2017, on Bethel Music's YouTube channel.[29] On December 13, 2017, the acoustic video of the song being performed by Asbury with his son Gabriel in the background, recorded in Ashland, Oregon was also published by Bethel Music on YouTube.[30] Bethel Music then published the official lyric video of "Reckless Love" on January 19, 2018 on YouTube.[31]
The song has provoked controversy over the use of the word "Reckless" in respect of God's love. For example, popular Christian apologist Mike Winger, associate pastor at a Calvary Chapel, released a YouTube video examining the song and concluded the use of the word was not appropriate.[36] Conversely, well-known pastor John Piper concluded that the word could be understood in a valid sense.[37] The Christian Broadcasting Network published an article summarising some of the debate.[38]
