The lyrics are written from the perspective of Mother Nature speaking to her inhabitants as a call to action against climate change.
And my default mechanism when writing is very often gospel, and some of the songs that we had done that were referenced when I got brought in are more gospel-leaning records.
And I went to Oral Roberts University, so I’ve seen my fair share of altar calls.In promotion of the song, OneRepublic performed the song on Late Night with Seth Meyers and at 2017 24-Hours of Reality event.
