Well known for their high-energy worship, Young & Free incorporates electronic dance music into the new song. Furthermore, hip-hop's record-breaker, Lecrae, adds even more meaning to "This Is Living."

"For us it was a dream come true to collaborate with Lecrae who we not only love and respect as an artist, but as someone who is a strong voice for freedom to this generation," the Young & Free team said. "If anyone's message echoes the message of 'This Is Living,' it's Lecrae."

Their brand new EP, also titled This Is Living, was released last week. It offers a newly-recorded version of "Sinking Deep," which was first released on the group's debut album We Are Young & Free, as well as an acoustic version of "This Is Living." Rounding out the track list for the EP are the songs "Energy" and "Pursue."

In 2013, Young & Free's "We Are Young & Free" debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Christian charts as well as on the Praise and Worship chart. Moreover, it debuted in the Top 25 on the Billboard Top 200 chart and No. 6 on the Overall Digital Albums chart.

The Hillsong team also has music groups Hillsong UNITED and Hillsong Live. It's estimated that over 30 million churchgoers around the world sing Hillsong worship songs on any given Sunday.
