Background[edit]
Hillsong United released "On Repeat" as a single on 21 January 2022,[5] following the release of the singles "Know You Will" and "Sure Thing" in 2021. Joel Houston of Hillsong United shared the story behind the song,[6] saying:
The simplicity of the Gospel works itself out daily in tangible and significant ways. In our lives there's a parallel of grace being on repeat, and then praise being on repeat as our response to God's grace. It's so simple yet profound and encourages me to believe that God's going to give me the grace, so I'm going to give Him the praise knowing that He's going to give me the grace again. I think that's true for anybody anywhere, regardless of their story, what season they're in, or how life looks like – and I pray it never gets lost on us.

Critical reception[edit]
Jono Davies of Louder Than The Music gave a positive review of "On Repeat," saying "In recent years Hillsong United have produced songs that are stripped back, leaving the song in its most raw form straying away from more studio creativity and this has worked well for them, and this song is no different. If anything this works better for a song like this, I think in a live setting this song will come into its own."[8]
