“Our new song came from a season of fighting hard for gratitude and contentment,” shares Michael Cochren of Cochren & Co. “It doesn’t come easy in this world, but when you really stop and look around at everything God has given you, you begin to see the truly good stuff. The stuff money can’t buy.”

“Money Can’t Buy” reunites Cochren with co-writer and five-time GRAMMY award-winning producer Chris Stevens. In addition, Cochren & Co. is a co-writer on two brand-new songs. “Somebody Prayed” is the latest radio single from Crowder and can be found on their recent album, Exile, and the new Keith & Kristyn Getty song, “As For Me and My House,” which features Cochren & Co.
