Background

"Finally Home" was released on May 18, 2012, as the lead single from her second studio album Time for the Show. Roberts wrote the track around Christmas when she was missing her family during the holidays. Finally Home is about what it’s like to return home to heaven where we belong. [7] At CCM Magazine , Grace S. Aspinwall compared Finally Home to the Katy Perry-esque "Masterpiece," it's clear that Kerrie Roberts has done nothing but grow in the time since her debut release. Her voice has increased in strength and tone it blends nicely with upbeat arrangements and simple ballads." [8]
