Dolly Parton has written and sung many songs over the years about heartache and love lost and sadness, but now she wants to sing about joy and love.

Dolly says, "I have a song out now with a Christian group out of Australia. They're called For King and Country. And the song is called 'God Only Knows.' And then I've got a new single coming out with the first of the year was Zach Williams, who is one of the new Christian artists, is called 'There was Jesus.'"

"This world is just so dark and ugly and awful. I just can't believe how we just can't have a little more love. So, I'm gonna make it my business to try to do songs that are more uplifting, not just all Christian based songs, but songs that are just about... just better."

Parton posted to Instagram recently, "Can't wait for y'all to hear this one! "Faith" with @wearegalantis featuring @mrprobz is available Friday, October 25!"
