In her latest release, ‘Made Me Holy,‘ Nigerian gospel singer and worship leader Lily Perez delivers a powerful and deeply personal anthem that fuses vibrant musicality with bold theological conviction.
Released on June 27, 2025, the song marks a standout moment in Perez’s catalogue—one that feels both intimate and universal.
From the very first note, Made Me Holy commands attention. Perez’s voice—clear, soulful, and resolute—cuts through a lush, live-recorded arrangement, produced by the renowned VC Perez.
The production leans into organic instrumentation: pulsing bass lines, live drums, layered synths, and guitars create a rich sonic bed that swells and recedes with each verse and chorus. The mix, handled by UK-based engineer Kenzeal, finds a delicate balance between vocal prominence and instrumental depth, allowing the listener to fully immerse in both word and sound.
But what truly sets this track apart is its message. Made Me Holy is not just a worship song—it’s a proclamation.
Perez reminds listeners that holiness isn’t something we earn through striving, but a gift we receive by grace.
“I don’t work to be holy; I am because He made me,” she sings with unwavering clarity. In a musical landscape often filled with self-effort theology, this is a refreshing and much-needed reminder.
There’s a reverence in her delivery that never feels performative. It’s worshipful, yes—but it’s also honest, direct, and accessible. The live energy of the recording lends itself to this transparency; there’s no studio polish to hide behind, just the authenticity of someone singing what she truly believes. As the song crescendos toward its bridge, the emotion in Perez’s voice becomes undeniable. It’s not just the words—it’s how she sings them that tells the story.
‘Made Me Holy’ has already begun resonating with audiences across Africa and the UK, where Lily continues to build her international footprint. It’s a song that feels equally at home in a massive auditorium and a quiet devotional moment.
For those familiar with Lily Perez’s work, this track is a natural progression—more refined, more vulnerable, and more impactful. And for those just discovering her, Made Me Holy is a compelling introduction to an artist whose voice and message are needed now more than ever.
This is not just a song—it’s a statement. And it deserves to be heard.
