Share Worthy Song — Colton Dixon “Up + Up”

Is the Soundtrack of Spiritual Comeback 

Before “Up + Up” ever made its way into our playlists, Colton Dixon was in a season of learning to trust God’s plan over his own. Life looked fine on the outside, but inside he knew he was moving forward without always asking God what He wanted for each step. In that space, the Lord began stirring a reminder in his heart — that His plans are always higher, always better, and always moving us toward hope. Out of that came “Up + Up,” a song Colton has said was written with Jeremiah 29:11 in mind: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” For him, it wasn’t just a verse to quote — it was a lifeline to hold onto.

The first time I heard it, it felt like someone had put my own fight into melody. I’ve had seasons where anxiety, doubt, and spiritual exhaustion felt like they were winning — where it seemed easier to stay down than to get back up. But God didn’t leave me there. He reached into the mess, lifted me, and set me on my feet again — not once, but over and over. That’s what this song sounds like to me: the rhythm of grace, the steady hand of a Savior who refuses to let go.

“Up + Up” isn’t about pretending the hits don’t hurt. It’s about knowing that every time life knocks you down, you rise again — not by your own strength, but by the power of Jesus. It reminds me of Micah 7:8, “Rejoice not over me, O my enemy; when I fall, I shall rise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord will be a light to me.” That’s the heartbeat of this song — the defiance of hope, the refusal to let the enemy write the ending.

For me, it’s more than a track to play loud in the car. It’s a declaration I carry into the day: God’s plan is still in motion, and it’s always upward. And I know I’m not the only one who needs that reminder. We all face moments when the weight feels too heavy, when the climb feels too steep. “Up + Up” is the voice in your ear saying, Keep going. You’re not climbing alone.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, defeated, or like you’ve lost your footing, let this song be your battle cry. Let it remind you that the devil doesn’t get the final say. Jesus does. And He’s calling you higher — up and up again — until you see the view from the top.

Colton Dixon’s Up + Up is a high-energy anthem of resilience and revival, blending bold pop hooks with a message of unshakable faith. It’s the kind of track that lifts your spirit and reminds you that no matter how far you fall, grace lifts you higher.
