Biography

"Hands On" is a song by American rapper Kanye West from his ninth studio album, Jesus Is King (2019). The song features a guest appearance from gospel singer Fred Hammond. It was produced by West, Angel Lopez, Federico Vindver, and Timbaland, all of whom served as co-writers with Hammond and Aaron Butts. West initially freestyled and envisioned the song, recording an 18-second basic track. He sent Hammond a vocal track, to which the singer wrote his verse. A minimalist gospel ballad with elements of R&B, the song features a low-key beat. Lyrically, the song is focused on West's conversion to Christianity and the judgement of him from other Christians. "Hands On" received mixed reviews from music critics, who mostly criticized West's performance. They often singled out his lyrical style, though certain reviewers praised the production and Hammond's appearance. The song reached number 60 on the US Billboard Hot 100, marking Hammond's first entry on the chart. It peaked at numbers 49 and 63 on the ARIA Singles Chart and Canadian Hot 100, respectively.
