The song follows “Better Than You” with Joe Nichols
Rising singer/songwriter Annie Bosko releases a poignant and powerful new song with “God Winks,” available now via Stone Country Records. Inspired by real-life moments of serendipity, “God Winks” is a tribute to faith and divine timing during moments of uncertainty.
“‘God Winks’ is the song I’m most proud to have written,” shares Bosko. “I was raised in a home where faith was our foundation, and my mom always used the term ‘God winks’ to describe those quiet signs from above that remind us we’re on the right path. For her, it was hummingbirds – a symbol of her grandmother. This song is about those moments when you feel like giving up, and God says, ‘Not yet. I’ve got your back.’”
“When we wrote it, it felt like God was in the room and we were vessels channeling something bigger than ourselves,” she adds. “When I sing it live, people cry and to me, that is the greatest gift music can offer: a moment that moves the soul.”
Written by Bosko with Rachel Thibodeau, Jet Harvey and Michael Wilkes, and produced by Trent Willmon, the track serves as a tender reminder that even during our darkest or most uncertain moments, we’re never truly alone:
“I saw a hummingbird outside of my window / I knew it was her just sayin’ hello / Been seven long years to the day He called her home / I pulled that ole six string outta the case / The same one she gave me when I turned eight / Been a long time since I wanted to play / Or even had a song to sing // God winks, right outta nowhere / Just to let you know He’s still there / When it’s looking like nobody cares / God winks, In funny times and places / When all the dreams you wish feel wasted / When you think your ship’s about to sink, God winks,” she sings.
As she continues to build momentum towards her anticipated full LP debut later this year, “God Winks” follows “California Cowgirl,” the latter we recently discussed with her on The Music Universe Podcast.
A top 40 hit at country radio, Bosko’s current single, “Better Than You,” a duet with multi-platinum-selling neo-traditionalist Joe Nichols, landed in the top five most-added songs at country radio for five consecutive weeks, including one week before impact date.
Fresh off a Mane Stage performance at Stagecoach and her RodeoHouston debut, Bosko is set to perform at Country Summer Music Festival, the North Dakota State Fair, CMA Music Fest and Headwaters Country Jam later this summer.
