[5] Brandon Lake shared in interview with Billboard that song came about during a trip to Australia to co-write with friends who were in Hillsong.

"[8] JubileeCast's Timothy Yap wrote in his review: "Overwhelmed by the grace of God, this song finds Lake so enthralled in the beauty of Christ that his only response is simply to sing hallelujah to Jesus.

"[9] Rob Allwright, reviewing for One Man In The Middle, said the contemplative sound was executed brilliantly on "Gratitude" explaining that "maybe it's more because of the subject matter which feels more heartfelt and genuine.

This gentle ballad explores the tension between Lake’s overwhelming gratitude towards God and the corresponding awareness of the limitations of his own finite humanity.

On March 11, 2022, Nevada-based CCM band I Am They released their own cover of the song featuring Cheyenne Mitchell as the lead single to their extended play, Chapel Sessions (2022).

[36] I Am They released the official Chapel Sessions video for "Gratitude" featuring Cheyenne Mitchell through their YouTube channel on September 16, 2022.
