After a chaotic year including a skateboarding accident, a public argument, and chart-topping success, Christian musician Forrest Frank ends 2025 with yet another milestone. Google listed one of Frank’s songs, “YOUR WAY’S BETTER,” in the Top 10 Hum-to-Search for the year.

“I need you now more than ever. Would you put my heart back together?” read the lyrics. “Jesus, your way’s better.”

Google’s Year in Search 2025 Lists Forrest Frank’s ‘YOUR WAY’S BETTER’ in Top Results

Got a song stuck in your head? According to Google’s Year in Search 2025, there’s a good chance the song is one of Forrest Frank’s hits. While Google processes around 16.4 billion searches each day, the platform ranks Frank’s song “YOUR WAY’S BETTER” No. 8 on its annual Hum-to-Search list.

Google’s Hum-to-Search feature helps identify different tunes. A user can hum, whistle, or sing a melody, and Google uses AI to search its database for a match. To access Hum-to-Search, tap the mic icon in the Google app or ask Google Assistant.

“YOUR WAY’S BETTER” also landed at No. 2 on Billboard’s year-end Hot Christian Songs chart. Billboard noted as well the success of Frank’s albums “Child of God” and “Child of God II.” These albums sat at No. 1 for dozens of weeks.

Like much of Frank’s music, “YOUR WAY’S BETTER” came out of a time of personal struggle. He recorded a voice memo of a raw prayer to God—that became a hit once set to melody. In early 2025, a viral dance became a proclamation of faith.

The lyrics of the song include:

When I’m overwhelmed within
From the weight of all my sin
I need a friend to call my own
I need a house to call my home
When I’m broken down inside
And there’s nowhere else to hide
I need a place where I feel known
Can someone help me?
Then I hear your reply
Bringing teardrops to my eyes
Saying I’m not alone

Oh Lord, I need you now more than ever
Would you put my heart back together
I searched the world ’til my head hurt
Just to find out your way’s better
Oh-oh, your way’s better
Oh-oh, your way’s better
Oh, Lord, your way’s better
Jesus, your way’s better

Frank’s song landed between “All the Way” by BigXThaPlug and “Mystical Magical” by Benson Boone, according to Google Year in Search 2025.
