Songfacts®:

  • While LeAnn Rimes typically stays in the country-pop realm, with an occasional gospel tune thrown in the mix, her 14th studio album is a collection of mantras and inspirational chants, featuring the uplifting track "Sing Love Into The World."

    "The song is calling on me to put my love into action, and then it is asking the listener to do the same with their heart," she told Billboard. "There is a great need to birth more love into our world and our actions. Music is a powerful way to express it."
  • In 2012, the singer checked into a treatment facility to deal with her anxiety and depression and learned how to use breathing exercising and meditation as coping tools. With the world facing a pandemic, Rimes thought it was the right time to share her healing practices through her music. "I hope it would bring some comfort to anyone being in these challenging times, and that it reminds them of who they truly are, and helps lead them to find their own voice," she told Billboard. "That is what it is helping me with as well."
  • The ideas for the songs came to Rimes while she was meditating. "This Chant album came up for me in the middle of making my next album," she said. "While meditating, melodies and words would rise up for me, and I would hit record on my phone and go back to meditating thinking they were something for my album. I recognized later that the pieces of songs were actually self-contained chants, and I felt responsible that they should see the light of day."
  • This features Japanese percussionist Taku Hirano, who plays on all the up-tempos throughout the album. Hirano has also toured with several other major artists, including Fleetwood Mac, Whitney Houston, Bette Midler, and Lionel Richie.
