Background
On 22 January 2021, Hillsong Worship released "Fresh Wind" as a single. The song features Brooke Ligertwood and David Ware as lead vocalists. Brooke Ligertwood shared the story behind the song in an interview with NewReleaseToday, saying: "Every February, our senior pastor brings vision and visionary language that frames our year. Last year, it was 'wind of the Spirit, the fragrance of heaven.' The weekend that our pastor started teaching from that framework, David Ware was leading worship. In rehearsal for service, he started spontaneously singing the section that's now the song's chorus. And, they performed it at the church service that evening. The rest of the song was wrestled throughout the remainder of the year. Some songs came quickly, others were labored over, prayed through, and came with no small amount of discomfort. This is the latter for sure. I think it needed to be this way so that the prayer could get in our spirits before it went beyond our own backyard. And, God being sovereign, I believe the song was ready right on time."
