Composition

I feel like this one is kind of self-explanatory, but it's about trust and being there for people when you say you will be. I'm the kind of person who says what I mean, and this song is about keeping your word. [3]

– Jeremy McKinnon, on "Have Faith in Me", 2009

The song was written by A Day to Remember, with lyrics by vocalist Jeremy McKinnon and Jason Lancaster. [4] The lyrics are about trusting other people, and looking after them. [3]
