Songfacts®:

  • This is the title track of New Found Glory's eighth album. Resurrection was the band's first LP recorded as a four-piece following the departure of founding guitarist-lyricist Steve Klein in late 2013.
  • This was the first song written for the project. Frontman Chad Gilbert explained to MTV News why they titled the record after this cut: "Through resurrection, most things come back better and stronger, and you learn a lot," he said. "Even for me, as a personal thing — I remember my dad passed away, and coming out of that at the time was such a hard moment in my life. But now I can be there for so many people since I've lived it."

    "With our record, it felt kind of like the perfect thing to say 'Hey, we're the same band, but we're acknowledging there was a point in our career where there was a switch,' he continued. "But now we feel better and stronger, and so far, based on the reception of the new album and this tour, I feel like our fans are really feeling that, which is cool."
