Newsboys are considered one of the most popular bands in the Christian music industry. They have had numerous hit singles on the Christian pop charts, including Shine (1994), Take Me To Your Leader (1996) and He Reigns (2003).
In 2000, they helped start and headlined the annual, travelling CCM festival Festival Con Dios with Audio Adrenaline and The O.C. Supertones. It was known for featuring popular Christian bands and its motorcross stunts.
Steve Taylor has produced many of their hit albums, and several of the songs he has worked on with the band (such as Breakfast, Take Me To Your Leader) feature Taylor's humor and quaint lyrics.
During the Step Up To The Microphone tour, the band featured the drums on a rotating platform that could tilt downward up to 90 degrees. In fact, there were two sets of drums and Peter Furler (the original drummer) and Duncan Phillips would wear seat belts, so they wouldn't fall out, and have a rotating drum-off. This feature is still used on their tours and has grown to be quite popular.
In 2003, Jody Davis left the band to care for his sick daughter, Bethany. His replacement, Bryan Olesen, left in 2006 to work on his own band, Casting Pearls. The band announced in January 2007 that Paul Colman would be replacing Bryan.
The Newsboys released their new album, Go, on October 31st, featuring songs such as their hit single I Am Free, along with new singles Wherever We Go, and Something Beautiful. In March 2007, a collection of remixes from the Go was released as Go Remixed.
On December 31st 2006, bass player Phil Joel departed from the band to devote more time to family and personal goals.
In January 2009, the band announced that guitarist Jody Davis would return, replacing Paul Colman. Colman continues to pursue his solo career.
In March, 2009, it was announced that Peter Furler will be leaving the band to pursue other interests and will be replaced by Michael Tait, former member of dc talk and founding member of Tait. However, it was also announced that Furler will remain with the Newsboys in a production/advisory role, and may occasionally return to the stage with them for special events and will still be on the albums.
In January of 2025 lead singer Michael Tait steps down from his role as lead singer after 15 years.

It's the same voice on the inside
Already so heavy
Weighing on my soul
All the fear, all the worry
All the heart ache, all the hurting
CollidingWith your light and
Tryna steal my hope
Some days I break
I lose my way
More doubt than faith
But every time I'm in that fight
Your love keeps pulling me back, pulling me back, it's magnetic
I've pushed away but I can't escape
Your love keeps pulling me back, pulling me back, it's magnetic (magnetic)
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
It's magnetic (magnetic)
Your goodness won't give up on me
It's a fountain flowing so deep
You're so patient and so gracious
It's unconditional
Even when I try to go my own way
Even when my heart is in the wrong place
You bring it back around like a boomerang
Just like a boomerang
'Cause every time I'm in that fight
Your love keeps pulling me back, pulling me back, it's magnetic
I've pushed away but I can't escape
Your love keeps pulling me back, pulling me back, it's magnetic (magnetic)

The song "Magnetic" by Newsboys talks about the struggles of life and the constant push and pull between the negativity in our own minds and hearts, and the love and grace of God. From the opening lines, the lyrics refer to the heavy weight that one feels upon waking up in the morning, alluding to the anxiety and stress that plagues people's minds. The song recognizes that life is full of worries and pain, but that this darkness can be lifted by the unrelenting magnetic force of God's love.
The lyrics go on to describe the struggle that takes place in one's heart and mind, where there seems to be a constant battle between doubt and faith. The song acknowledges that sometimes it is easy to feel like we are losing our way, but just when it seems that we are out of reach, God's love and grace pull us back. The lyrics allude to the fact that no matter how far we push away, we cannot escape from the magnetic pull of God's love. It's a constant reminder that even when we are at our lowest, God is always there to bring us back into the light.
In summary, the song "Magnetic" is a song of hope that acknowledges the struggles in life but reminds us that we can never escape from God's love. It's a reminder that His love is not dependent on our own ability to stay in faith, but it's a constant force that always guides us back to Him.

Magnético
Assim que eu abrir meus olhos
É a mesma voz por dentro
Já tão pesado
Pesando na minha alma
Todo o medo, toda a preocupação
Toda a dor no coração, toda a dor
Colidindo
Com sua luz e
Tentando roubar minha esperança
Alguns dias eu quebro
Eu perco meu caminho
Mais dúvida do que fé
Mas toda vez que estou nessa luta
Seu amor continua me puxando, me puxando de volta, é magnético
Eu me afastei, mas não posso escapar
Seu amor continua me puxando, me puxando de volta, é magnético
Sua bondade não vai desistir de mim
É uma fonte fluindo tão fundo
Você é tão paciente e gracioso
É incondicional
Mesmo quando tento seguir meu próprio caminho
Mesmo quando meu coração está no lugar errado
Você o traz de volta como um bumerangue
Como um bumerangue
Porque toda vez que estou nessa luta
Seu amor continua me puxando, me puxando de volta, é magnético
Eu me afastei, mas não posso escapar
Seu amor continua me puxando, me puxando de volta, é magnético
Como a gravidade
Apenas quando eu penso que estou fora de alcance
Seu amor, sua misericórdia continua me puxando
Me puxando
Oh eu posso sentir isso, sentir isso, sentir isso
Está me mudando
Chega de pesquisar, é claro para ver
Tudo que eu costumava ser é história
Eu posso sentir isso, sentir isso, sentir isso
Toda vez que estou nessa luta
Seu amor continua me puxando, me puxando de volta, é magnético
Eu tentei me afastar, mas não consigo escapar
Seu amor continua me puxando, me puxando de volta, é magnético
Seu amor continua me puxando, seu amor continua me puxando
Seu amor continua me puxando, é magnético
Seu amor continua me puxando, seu amor continua me puxando
Seu amor continua me puxando
Seu amor continua me puxando, seu amor continua me puxando, é magnético
Magnético
Seu amor continua me puxando, seu amor continua me puxando
Seu amor continua me puxando, seu amor continua me puxando

The greatest man in history is jesus. He had no servants, yet they call him master. He had no degree, yet they call him teacher. He had no medicines, yet they call him healer. He had no army, yet kings fear him. He won no military battles, yet he conquered the world. He commited no crime, yet they crucified him. He was buried in a tomb, yet he lives today. Amen
