Matthew West Shares Ode To His Wife “Growing Up & Growing Old”
Five-time GRAMMY-nominated Christian artist and songwriter Matthew West releases an ode to his wife with “Growing Up & Growing Old,” available everywhere now. Written by West and AJ Pruis, the sentimental track celebrates the 22nd anniversary of Matthew West’s marriage. With an inspiring message that love conquers all in life, the song details their love story and the cherished memories they share together.
“I’m so excited to share this new song with you!” shares Matthew West to the fans. “I always say there’s a piece of Emily in every song I sing. Well, this one really sums up how grateful I am to walk through life with a best friend by my side.
I think there’s probably nothing the devil hates more than a husband and wife who decide to put God at the center of their marriage and a Christian family staying strong through thick and thin. I hope this song hits your heart the way it hits mine. Here’s to growing up & growing old, and loving each other well.”

“Growing Up & Growing Old” marks West’s first release since his 13th studio album, Don’t Stop Praying, released last October. The album is full of inspiring and “equally unique message[s]” (Forbes).
GRAMMY.com noted “the contemporary Christian stalwart’s latest body of work uplifts throughout its 12 tracks,” while K-LOVE praised it as “a masterclass in storytelling…proving 12 times over why he continues to be one of the best songwriters of our time.”
West’s recognitions continue as he recently notched his 37th No. 1 song as an artist and songwriter combined. Next up, he will host The K-LOVE Fan Awards alongside fellow Christian artists Mac Powell, Jeremy Camp and Bart Millard on Sunday, May 25 in Nashville, where he is also nominated for Male Artist of the Year.
