Shortly after, Welch asked Korn's bassist, Reginald Arvizu, to produce the album, however, he received no response.

[10] On the experience of working with other musicians again since his departure from Korn, Welch attests, "It's been a long time since I've connected with people musically and, now that the wounds have healed from my past addictions, I'm ready to feel the magic again.

[12] The video announced that Welch had officially signed with Driven Music Group, and would release Save Me from Myself on September 9, 2008.

Welch wrote in his autobiography, Save Me from Myself, that ideas for lyrics and music often came from conversations with friends, including themes for "Re-Bel" and "Washed by Blood".

[7] "I literally poured everything I had into Save Me from Myself," Welch explained in June 2008, "I know it's gonna inspire a lot of people.

Welch had accidentally locked himself in his studio, so he decided, "I'm gonna go back inside, grab my keyboard, and whatever my hands do, I'll make a song out of it."

Andrea Goforth of Christianity Today stated, "The content is so much more positive that anything released by Korn, that I can look past the absence of hooks to find a great deal of hope.

"[citation needed] About.com writer Chad Bowar stated that, "although many of the songs are slow in tempo they don't lack in intensity."

Reviewing for Metal Edge, Madeline Phillips felt that, "Sadly, in pursuit of greater spiritual understanding .
