Background

The song was released on November 9, 2018, as the first single from ''Honest EP''. The band's lead singer, Mulligan, explained the meaning behind the song in an interview with "Apostles That Rock" two days after its release,"I believe that God works all things together for the good of those that love Him. But I can't escape the fact that we're hurting, anxious, disappointed, and afraid. This song is my surrender. By admitting that I need God to put everything right. I find that Jesus is with me in the heartache holding onto me and leading through the tough times. Everything sad is being undone. But it's going to take a little time. Getting well is a messy business. So, take it easy on yourself. God has taken every mistake, every hurt, and make it something really beautiful. I'm in the reality of where I am right here, right now, and I'm trusting in Jesus. I've realized, maybe it's okay, even when I'm not okay." A lyric video was released on December 21, 2018.
