Chris Young has teamed up with Triller, the social video sharing app, on a new "Pay It Forward" challenge involving his new song "If That Ain't God."

Chris says, “2020 has been a crazy year and one of the reasons I wanted to release my new single, ‘If That Ain’t God,’ is because a lot of the lyrics remind me not to take little things or big things for granted that are amazing moments that happen in our lives."

He added, “I wanted to take an opportunity to do something where we go out and create random acts of kindness for other people – just bring them some joy and positivity, which is what this song is all about and which is what I think we all need right now."

Launched just last week, the “If That Ain’t God” initiative is already among Triller’s top trending hashtags as Chris encourages fans to capture and share random acts of kindness.
