During the Season 27 finale of The Voice, Adam David delivered a soul-stirring performance of “Hard Fought Hallelujah” by Brandon Lake and Jelly Roll, captivating both the audience and the coaches. This powerful rendition played a pivotal role in his journey to becoming the season’s champion.

Originally released by Brandon Lake in November 2024, “Hard Fought Hallelujah” quickly climbed the charts, debuting at No. 1 on the Digital Songs and Hot Christian Songs charts. The song, co-written by Lake, Steven Furtick, Benjamin William Hastings, and Rodrick Simmons, delves into themes of perseverance, faith amidst trials, and redemption. In February 2025, Lake collaborated with country artist Jelly Roll to release a reimagined version, blending contemporary worship with country influences, which resonated with a broader audience.

Adam David’s performance on May 19, 2025, showcased his deep connection to the song’s message. Accompanied by a choir and dramatic fire effects, he infused the stage with emotion and intensity. His coach, Michael Bublé, remarked on the depth of the performance, stating, “We are blessed that we are given the love of music, man.”

David’s journey on The Voice was marked by resilience. Initially receiving only one chair turn during the blind auditions, he faced elimination in the semifinals but secured his spot in the finale through the Instant Save. His victory not only marked Bublé’s second consecutive win as a coach but also made David the first Instant Save contestant to win the competition.

Beyond the competition, Adam David’s personal story adds depth to his performances. A native of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, he began playing guitar at age eight and has been open about his journey to sobriety, celebrating six years of recovery. He often performs at rehabilitation centers, using his music to inspire others facing similar challenges.
