Background

The song was inspired from the 2005 fantasy film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe . [2] Matthew Thiessen said that "The Truth" was originally about how everyone wouldn't believe the character of Lucy, although she'd never lied to them before, but he then changed it to fit a relationship with God. [2]

Composition

"The Truth" was written by Matthew Thiessen and produced by Mark Lee Townsend. It was recorded at S S Studio in Spring Hill, Tennessee, and mastered at Final Stage Mastering in Nashville by Randy Leroy. [3] Lyrically, the song speaks about dealing with the inability at times to believe "The truth" and "that we are intellectually inept." It also explores having faith in God and strengthening a relationship with him. [4]
