"On God" is a song by American rapper Kanye West from his ninth studio album, Jesus Is King (2019). The song's production was handled by West, BoogzDaBeast, and Michael "CameOne" Cerda, with co-production from Pi'erre Bourne and additional production from Federico Vindver. The producers served as co-writers alongside Cyhi the Prynce and Mustard. Cerda formed the song's melody in 2017, utilizing a Prophet Rev 2 and Moog Sub 37. Young Thug indicated an appearance, though he ultimately did not make the final cut. An electronic track with gospel and house elements, it relies on synths and features an interpolation of "Mercy" by West, Big Sean, Pusha T, and 2 Chainz.

Lyrically, the song features West delivering the gospel about his life with the newfound context of Christianity. "On God" received moderately positive reviews from music critics, who mostly commended the production. They often focused on the synths, though critical commentary towards West's rapping was somewhat negative. The song was one of the Award Winning Gospel Songs at the 2021 BMI Gospel Awards. It reached number 23 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and charted within the top 50 in eight other countries, including Canada and Latvia. The song has been certified gold in the United States by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
