Background

"No Matter What" was released as the third single from his second studio album No Matter What, on January 26, 2018. It is the follow-up to Christian radio hit "The Gospel." Stevenson explained his inspiration for writing the song in an interview,"Over the course of the last several years, I've continued to ask the Lord to give me songs that exist for a reason," shares Ryan Stevenson about his new single. "As we were working on this new record, a reoccurring theme I felt the Lord continually whisper to my heart was 'beloved identity.' I, like many of us, grew up in the church- a religious environment, where we weren't necessarily nurtured and taught about Gods grace, patience and compassion. As I continue to grow and experience life, the truth I continue to encounter is 'I am His son, no matter what.' It is easy to fall into the trap of performance based relationship with God when we've been taught in religious environments that He's mostly disappointed with us. This song hopefully will encourage all of us that even though we struggle, Jesus is overseeing the process." [8]
