Chapter & Verse is the second studio album from American country music singer Gabby Barrett. The album was released on February 2, 2024, via Warner Music Nashville.
Background
The title Chapter & Verse was inspired by Barrett's faith, and she co-wrote nine of the album's 14 tracks and co-produced the project with Ross Copperman. Phil Wickham is featured on the closing track, and Luke Combs lends background vocals to "Dance Like No One's Watching", a song Combs co-wrote about being the parent to a daughter. He gave it to Barrett after discovering his wife was expecting a boy, knowing that Barrett had just given birth to a girl.
"Glory Days" was released as the album's lead single on June 12, 2023. "Cowboy Back", "Growin' Up Raising You", and "You're My Texas" were all issued as promotional singles leading up to the album release. Barrett co-wrote the latter track as a tribute to her Texan husband Cade Foehner, with Miranda Lambert who also hails from East Texas. "Dance Like No One's Watching" was released as the second single from the album on April 8, 2024. "Jesus on a Train" was released on October 14, 2024, as the album's third overall single, and Barrett's first single to the Christian radio format.
