Songfacts®:

  • Julia Cannon grew up in Alaska and made her way to the Lower 48 when she went to school at Berklee College of Music, where she studied songwriting and production. After graduating, she moved to Nashville and started releasing music on Soundcloud and other platforms. "All Along" is one of her early songs.

    "I wrote it about how after college I fell into this relationship that was like a whirlwind," she told Songfacts. "We moved to Nashville together and it felt like it was supposed to happen. I'm not a religious person or the most spiritual, but it just felt like it was meant to happen, and I still believe I was meant to grow with that person. And we did grow with each other and are responsible for who we are today individually."
  • Cannon teams up with the singer Logan Kendell - also a Berklee grad - on this track.

    "I wrote it and then I asked Logan Kendell if he would sing on it with me," said Cannon. "I love him. He's got a beautiful artistry in his own right. Great songwriter."
