Songfacts®:

  • The first single from Mobile Orchestra, this was released on October 8, 2014. With hopeful lyrics that reference Adam Young's Christian faith, the song rose to #1 on the Christian Contemporary hit radio chart.
  • Adam Young said the song "taps into a sentiment and emotionality that everyone can relate to: feeling alone."

    "In your darkest moments, sometimes Jesus chooses to draw on nearest to you," he continued. "The reminder that He is there with you, that He has your back, is an amazing, life-transforming thing. The song is simply a reminder that God is there for those who call upon Him."
  • The song features the Christian pop artist Britt Nicole, who is best known for her 2013 hit single "Gold."
