In October 2018, Kanye West teased a snippet of the Ronny J-produced “Selah” during an Instagram livestream. A second snippet of the track appeared online on September 25, 2019. The track was teased a third time on October 23, 2019, in a promotion for the album and the IMAX film.
The title further establishes the biblical theme of JESUS IS KING, as “selah” (סֶלָה) is a common Hebrew word found in the Book of Psalms. In total, it is used 71 times, but the meaning is still relatively unknown; however, scholars theorize that it means “to lift up” or “exalt.”
During the Jesus Is King: A Kanye West Experience listening session on September 28 in Chicago, Kanye stated that ‘Selah’ means “to look back and reflect upon.”
