Aarion Pace Rhodes and Kierra Sheard-Kelly Breathe New Life Into Gospel Classic with “Act Like You Know”

Produced by Grammy & Stellar Award Winner David “DLo” Outing, this heartfelt revival is the gospel anthem of the summer.

A powerful legacy continues as Aarion Pace Rhodes teams up with Kierra Sheard-Kelly to release a soul-stirring revival of the beloved '90s gospel hit “Act Like You Know.” Originally recorded by the legendary LaShun Pace and Karen Clark Sheard, this reimagined version blends generational power with fresh passion, bridging the past and present in a way that only gospel music can.

Produced by Grammy and Stellar Award-winning producer David “DLo” Outing, the single is already making waves as the unexpected summer gospel bop that’s capturing hearts and playlists across the nation.

Originally released in 1996, “Act Like You Know” recently found new life during the pandemic, becoming a viral TikTok sensation. Inspired by the song’s renewed cultural relevance—and her own journey of healing and purpose—Aarion Pace Rhodes knew the time was right to reintroduce this anthem to the world. More than a cover, it’s a tribute to her late mother, LaShun Pace, and a declaration of Aarion’s own voice and calling in gospel music.

Sharing this moment with Kierra Sheard-Kelly, daughter of gospel icon Karen Clark Sheard, adds another beautiful layer of meaning. Together, Aarion and Kierra represent a new generation of gospel artists boldly carrying the torch, blending legacy with innovation and worship with authenticity.

“Act Like You Know” is now available on all digital streaming platforms.
