The mid tempo song ‘Closer’ has a blend of the popular Christian hymn ‘draw me nearer’ with secular and adult-rated lyrics.

In a statement currently circulating the social media, the religious group is backing CAN’s call for the song to be banned because the musical work insults, tarnishes and mocks the hymn history of Christianity.
