Nathan Davis Jr. brings the positive message of his inspirational single “Woke Up This Morning” to life with the song’s official video, which premiered on his YouTube channel on September 18, 2026.

The bright and energetic visual follows Davis Jr. through what can only be described as a great day. In keeping with the song’s title, the video begins with him waking up, praying, brushing his teeth and getting dressed before heading out. Along the way, he encounters people on the street and spontaneously breaks into a choreographed dance routine.

Directed by world-renowned choreographer Jose “Hollywood” Ramos, the video eventually takes Davis Jr. to a park, where he attracts the attention of several people. A crowd soon gathers as he performs “Woke Up This Morning,” with everyone joining in, vibing to the music and enjoying the moment.

Matching the uplifting energy of the song, the colorful visual reinforces its central message: life is better with God.
