The song was the last to be written for The Worship Project; in writing it, Millard drew upon his thoughts about his father's death.

Four songs on the album had previously appeared on their self-released albums; the rest were newly recorded songs. Critics have characterized the music on the album as contemporary worship and pop rock, with a more radio-friendly sound than the band's self-released albums.
