"Precious Declaration" is the lead single from Collective Soul's third studio album, Disciplined Breakdown.

A remixed version of the song was featured on MuchMusic's Diamond-certified compilation album, Big Shiny Tunes 2.

In a December 2017 interview with Songfacts, lead singer Ed Roland explained the inspiration behind "Precious Declaration": That's after we did go through a breakup with the manager with "December."

"Precious Declaration" is when they signed the release that we could continue being a band and continue on with our career.

Hence, "Precious Declaration" means yours is yours, and mine you leave alone now.
