Songfacts®:

  • Trent Dabbs' songs have featured on the hit TV shows Grey's Anatomy, One Tree Hill, Vampire Diaries, Pretty Little Liars and Nashville. He also co-wrote six of the tracks on Ingrid Michaelson's Lights Out album, including the lead single, "Girls Chase Boys."
  • This is a song from his ninth solo album. "When I was writing for 'Believer,' I wanted the album to capture the simplicity and sweetness of life in all different areas, like in relationships and restoration," Dabbs explained to Taste of Country. "'World on Time' falls into the category of relationships on the record. It's a fun love song about how sometimes you impatiently wait to find that perfect person to come along and when they finally do, you realize that that timing couldn't be any better."
