Singer-songwriter John Best gives testimony of hope and faith with his new single "Million Problems." The song, which was inspired by a devastating tragedy, the loss of his brother to a fatal fentanyl overdose in March of 2024, after a brief hiccup on his path of recovery. Only months earlier, the brothers had ceased pursuing their musical dreams to holistically pursue healing for Daniel, together pressing into their common purpose using their gifts for God's Kingdom.
When Daniel passed away, John could have let the music die as well. But in their place, the songs started spewing torrents of feeling, remembrance, and purpose. "Million Problems" is the current scream of that storm, a jagged yet polished bit of songwriting aimed directly at the spot where sorrow and promise converge on one another. The sincerity of each of his lyrics comes across as well-suffered, and the truth in them is something only someone who has journeyed through their fair share of gutters can understand.
Marie's voice, which complements the loss with the redemption, occupies a room backlit by sadness but free alongside faith. Delivered in John's unwavering sincerity, but he's not only singing about hope, he is giving it up. "Million Problems" is your reminder that when unavoidable loss meets undeniable grace, the former can bring you face-to-face with living.
Part of the award-winning Best Brothers Band, having played with acts like Sister Hazel, Marc Broussard, and members of Journey, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Santana, John offers a masterful performance on a deeply personal track. This, however, is no longer about awards as much as it is continuing the mission that he and Daniel began, sharing the love of Jesus Christ through music rooted in and healed by His message.
