Songfacts®:

  • The title track of Lauren Daigle's third album, "Look Up Child" finds the singer drawing on the innocence and purity of childhood to help her maintain a passion for life.

    "There's so many things in life as adults you get completely overwhelmed by," Daigle explained to Billboard. "There's new pressures. You take on opinions of others…we become labeled. And it gets really difficult the older you get. And I was like, you know what? I don't want to live like that. I want to be carefree and wild."
  • Look Up Child was released on September 7, 2018 and opened with 115,000 album units in its debut week, according to Nielsen Music. The last Christian LP to sell more copies in a single seven days was Casting Crowns' Until the Whole World Hears, which premiered with 167,000 copies in the week after its November 27, 2009 release.
  • The Look Up Child record received the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album at the 2019 Grammy Awards.

  • MaryI’m encouraged by the song because as the scripture says, “ unless we become as little children we will in no wise enter into the Kingdom of heaven”. Little children have not yet been contaminated by using their own reason and logic, they simply look up and believe.
