The global gospel scene is celebrating a major milestone as the Afro-fusion anthem “NO TURNING BACK II” by Gaise Baba and Lawrence Oyor has officially surpassed 50 million views on YouTube.
This remarkable feat positions the collaboration between the innovative Gaise Baba and prophetic worship minister Lawrence Oyor as one of the most significant moments in modern gospel expression.
Marking the achievement on Instagram, Gaise Baba expressed deep appreciation for the overwhelming support the song has received. He reflected on the journey, noting that only 278 days — 87 days short of a full year — have passed since the world encountered what has now grown into a full-blown spiritual sound movement. In his message, he especially acknowledged the young children who have passionately embraced the song and contributed immensely to its widespread impact, helping turn it into what many now describe as a modern-day classic.
He also publicly appreciated key collaborators, thanking Lawrence Oyor, Davidic Generation Church, RotimiKeys, Billo Beats, and OneRPM Africa for their roles in bringing the vision to life. Their combined creativity produced a sound that stretches beyond traditional gospel frameworks, blending vibrant Afro-fusion elements with a bold declaration of unwavering faith.
At the core of the song lies a powerful message of total surrender and commitment. The recurring line declaring that the cross stands before and the world behind is more than a catchy refrain — it is a firm spiritual statement. Its uncompromising message of devotion to Christ has resonated deeply with millions, reinforcing their resolve to remain steadfast with no turning back.
Originally released on August 23, 2024, the song reintroduced the timeless theme of spiritual dedication that has defined Christian faith for generations. Inspired by the classic hymn “I Have Decided to Follow Jesus,” it reimagines that historic confession in a way that feels fresh, urgent, and celebratory for today’s audience.
Momentum intensified when a snippet of the remix surfaced on May 8, 2025, quickly igniting viral traction across social media. From countless cover versions to dance challenges and heartfelt reaction videos, the track evolved into a digital expression of faith for a new generation.
The official music video further enhances the experience with striking visuals, energetic choreography, and an atmosphere charged with passionate worship. Its message is clear and unwavering: even if no one else follows, the believer’s journey remains joyful, powerful, and decisive.
