Why is everyone ending sentences with ‘Hallelujah’ after Justin Bieber’s Coachella set

Justin Bieber’s Coachella 2026 performance went viral for multiple reasons, but after he sang “Everything Hallelujah,” his deep-cut lyric became a viral internet catchphrase. What began as an emotional live moment has evolved into an affirmation now used across TikTok, Instagram Reels, X, and brand marketing, with users adding “hallelujah” to everything from coffee orders to work wins.

Many were puzzled, wondering why people started posting things like “package delivered hallelujah,” “meeting canceled hallelujah,” and “washed my hair hallelujah.” Now we can confirm this is the result of a rare, perfect-storm internet moment that simply traces directly back to Justin Bieber at Coachella.

Of course, the phrase existed before the festival, but Bieber’s song, which was released on his album SWAG II in September 2025, already contained the catchphrase’s DNA. Justin’s Coachella soft acoustic performance, intimate camera work, personal dedications to Hailey Bieber and their son, plus a lyric that includes “Brush my teeth, hallelujah,” gave the internet a phrase that, while it could be absurd for some, represents an emotional moment for others.

We don’t know if this viral concert moment will immortalize this language trend, but in the meantime, we will see a repetitive refrain with people attaching “hallelujah” to ordinary moments featuring family, weather, going outside, swimming, brushing teeth, outfits, and more.

“Everything Hallelujah" Lyrics by Justin Bieber

Good morning, caught us dancing in the sunrise

Baby's crawling on the floor

And we don't have to go to Mississippi

Bring the river to your side

Baby, we find love in these moments

We don't even have to try

I could sing a song, but the words just wouldn't do

So I said hallelujah, hallelujah, baby

Uh

Let's take a walk, hallelujah

Sun is out, hallelujah

I'm kissin' you, hallelujah

Dream of you, hallelujah

Look at you, hallelujah

I'm lovin' you, hallelujah

Everything hallelujah

Everything hallelujah

Everything hallelujah

Remember times I was stranded all alone

Feelin' left out to dry

Now we circle back with tears in our eyes

Singing, hallelujah, hallelujah, baby

Somehow, I could reach across your mind

I would pull out all the hurt

Try to write this song, but my words just wouldn't do

So I said hallelujah, hallelujah, baby

I'm kissin' you, hallelujah

Dream of you, hallelujah

Look at you, hallelujah

I'm lovin' you, hallelujah

Everything hallelujah

Everything hallelujah

Everything hallelujah

Everything hallelujah

Mom and Dad, hallelujah

Hailey, babe, hallelujah

Baby Jack, hallelujah

Oscar, Piggy, hallelujah

Brand new day, hallelujah

Brush my teeth, hallelujah

Take a swim, hallelujah

Everything hallelujah

Go outside, hallelujah

It's beautiful, hallelujah

It's rainin' hallelujah

Breathe the air, hallelujah

I'm singin' like hallelujah

Dancin' like hallelujah

Everything hallelujah

Everything hallelujah

Everything hallelujah

Everything hallelujah

Everything hallelujah
