Songfacts®:

  • Here, Cam addresses the pursuit of joy and how to enjoy the ride. Written by the singer with her usual songwriter partner Tyler Johnson along with Hillary Lindsey, the acoustic guitar-laced ballad finds her pondering what it means to be truly happy.

    It's the wild unknown
    It's a ball and chain
    It's a no-end destination but we keep driving anyway
    Is that future that we're chasing worth the right nows that we miss
    On this road to happiness


    Cam said: "I've met unhappy successful people and happy 'unsuccessful' people. There's no one road to happiness, it doesn't exist, it's an illusion. Happiness is now and it's up to you to feel it in the moment. This song is me working through all this, and trying to be present and happy in my own way."
