Did Justin Bieber Start the Hallelujah Trend?

In April 2026, Justin had the opportunity to headline the Coachella Music Festival in Indio, California, on two separate weekends.

While performing his biggest hits at the concert dubbed Biebercehella, Justin chose to include “Everything Hallelujah” in his set list.

“Let’s take a walk, hallelujah / Sun is out, hallelujah / I’m kissin’ you, hallelujah,” Justin sings. “Dream of you, hallelujah / Look at you, hallelujah / I’m lovin’ you, hallelujah / Everything hallelujah.”

Soon after Justin’s performances, social media users began listing everything they love or are grateful for and adding “hallelujah” at the end, similar to how the Grammy winner does in the song.
