"Church" is a song by T-Pain. It is a fast-paced song led by guitar riffs and is one of the songs in which T-Pain raps. It appears on his album Epiphany and was released as the third single. The song "features" Teddy Verseti, one of T-Pain's aliases, which he uses when rapping vigorously. The song is about wanting to fight someone following a confrontation at a club. It was confirmed as the third single from Epiphany in an interview promoting the album.[1][2].
In the video version, the lyrics are altered. It was featured on 106 & Park on October 22, 2007 as the "New Joint of the Day". The video is also the first single from the Step Up 2 the Streets soundtrack.
In the UK "Church" was the first physical single release from Epiphany and became the biggest chart hit from the album and T-Pain's second highest charting solo single. The single eventually reached a peak of #35, two weeks after the physical release of the song due to an overall increase in downloads of the Step Up 2 the Streets soundtrack singles. The single also peaked at #10 on the New Zealand RIANZ charts. The song was also certified Gold in New Zealand. Despite its UK and New Zealand success, "Church" failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, his first single to do so.
