Aaron Cole Drops ‘MERCY’ Music Video, Announces ‘Where Do We Go From Here?’ EP and Fall Tour with Terrian

Sunita RaoSunita RaoAugust 27, 20254 Minutes read

Nashville, TN – August 27, 2025 – Chart-topping artist Aaron Cole has officially released the music video for his latest single, “MERCY,” a powerful and personal testament to divine grace and blessings. This significant release is accompanied by the announcement of his upcoming EP, “Where Do We Go From Here?”, slated for release on September 12th, and confirmation that Cole will be supporting singer Terrian on “The Big God Tour” throughout the fall. The multi-faceted artist continues to solidify his prominent position in the Christian hip-hop landscape.

‘MERCY’: A Soulful Declaration of Faith

The newly released single, “MERCY,” serves as a deeply personal reflection of Aaron Cole’s journey of faith. The track is imbued with a soulful sound, built upon an old-school sample and enriched with smooth string arrangements, creating a timeless yet contemporary feel. Lyrically, Cole shares his personal experiences, emphasizing how God’s mercy and unwavering presence have guided him through life’s challenges. The central refrain, “I got his mercy on me,” acts as a powerful declaration of faith and gratitude.

Cole himself described the inspiration behind “MERCY,” stating, “This song is for the ones who still need grace every day. His mercy is available to us every day. I wrote it to remind you that God’s not done, and neither are you.” The accompanying visualizer and official music video bring this message to life, offering a compelling narrative that resonates with listeners seeking encouragement and hope. The track is a significant highlight from his upcoming project, showcasing his ability to blend introspective lyricism with captivating melodies.

‘Where Do We Go From Here?’ EP Set for September Release

Fans have eagerly awaited new music from Aaron Cole, and the upcoming EP, “Where Do We Go From Here?”, promises to deliver. Scheduled for release on September 12th, the EP will feature six new tracks, continuing Cole’s exploration of themes centered around faith, family, and the acknowledgment of God’s guiding power. The project boasts collaborations with several prominent artists in the genre, including Parris Chariz, Jon Keith, nobigdyl., Ty Brasel, and Zacardi Cortez, hinting at a diverse and dynamic collection of songs.

Fans who pre-order the EP will receive “MERCY” and the previously released single “Nobody But God” (featuring Parris Chariz and Jon Keith) as instant grat tracks. The EP’s title, “Where Do We Go From Here?”, suggests a continued journey of spiritual growth and exploration, a theme that has been central to Cole’s music throughout his career.

The Big God Tour: Cole Joins Terrian on the Road

In addition to the new music, Aaron Cole is set to embark on a significant touring opportunity this fall. He will be joining fellow artist Terrian as a special guest on “The Big God Tour.” This 14-city tour kicks off on October 16th in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and will run through November 22nd, covering a wide range of cities across the United States. The tour promises to be a highlight for fans, offering them a chance to experience Cole’s latest music live, alongside his established hits.

The tour dates include:
* October 16: Tulsa, OK
* October 17: Fort Worth, TX
* October 19: San Antonio, TX
* October 23: Atlanta, GA
* October 24: Nashville, TN
* October 25: Memphis, TN
* November 6: South Bend, IN
* November 7: Cleveland, OH
* November 8: Louisville, KY
* November 9: Indianapolis, IN
* November 16: Charlotte, NC
* November 19: Richmond, VA
* November 22: New York, NY

This collaboration between Cole and Terrian is a natural fit, given their shared history of working together, including features on each other’s projects such as Terrian’s “It’s All Good” and Cole’s “Only U.” Terrian, who has garnered attention for her own releases and her work with TobyMac, is embarking on her first headlining tour, making this a landmark event for her career as well.

Aaron Cole: A Flourishing Career in Hip Hop and Faith

Aaron Cole’s musical journey began at an exceptionally young age, releasing his first independent album at just four years old. By fifteen, he had signed with Gotee Records, a label founded by Christian music icon TobyMac, marking the beginning of a career that would see him become a prominent voice in Christian hip-hop. His discography includes three #1 hit singles on Billboard Christian charts, two GMA Dove Awards, and a Stellar Award nomination. In 2019, Cole made history by becoming the first Christian hip-hop artist to win the Dove Award for New Artist of the Year for his debut album, “Not By Chance.” His prolific output continued through 2024 with the release of his third full-length album, “Sorry, I Changed,” its deluxe version “Sorry, I Changed (Again),” and the personal “OMARI” EP, dedicated to his newborn son.

Cole’s music has consistently been recognized for its authenticity, lyrical depth, and crossover appeal, earning placements on major platforms such as ESPN, Fox Sports, and the Netflix series “On My Block.” His ability to weave personal stories of faith and resilience into his music has resonated with a broad audience, establishing him as a top artist in the genre.

Conclusion

With the highly anticipated release of “MERCY,” the upcoming “Where Do We Go From Here?” EP, and the “The Big God Tour” alongside Terrian, Aaron Cole is set for a significant period of creative output and fan engagement. His continued dedication to delivering faith-infused music that speaks to real-life experiences solidifies his status as a leading artist in contemporary Christian music and hip-hop. Fans are encouraged to stream “MERCY,” pre-save “Where Do We Go From Here?”, and secure tickets to witness the “The Big God Tour” live.
