Josh Baldwin had an interview with Kevin Davis, lead contributor at NewReleaseToday about the song and the inspiration behind it.[12] Davis asked about the personal story behind the song, to which Baldwin responded, saying:
The song kind of came out of nowhere for me. I hadn't been doing too much songwriting at the time as I had just released my album The War Is Over, and wasn't in a season of thinking much about new songs. I was in Dallas, Texas on a trip and I ended up staying an extra day and stayed with Rita Springer and Mark Harris at Gateway Church. I was hanging out and they were writing songs for their Gateway album and I ended up staying and writing this song with them. Another guy named Ethan Hulse from Nashville who I had just met that day came in to tell us he was leaving and told us he had this song idea and the chorus. I was blown away and knew we needed to jump on it. He had about 45 minutes before he had to leave and we finished the song from there.
