Background
Chrissy Conway-Katina's inspiration for this song came from comparing her pre-Christian past to the Christian life and ministry she had at the time of writing. She "was always looking for somewhere to fit in" during the early years of her life. After she started following Jesus, her perspective of life took a drastic change. She then became "less concerned with fitting in with the world and more concerned with belonging to God."
The intimate relationship she shares with Christ is what fuels this song: "God is truly the only one who knows my thoughts before I think them. He's the only one who knew every day of my life before I even took my first breath. No one else but God could ever love me and accept me for who I am the way that He can. He's the only one who gets me.”

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“They were more than hostile. In the first place, I was a south Georgian and I was looked upon as a fiscal conservative, and the Atlanta newspapers quite erroneously, because they didn’t know anything about me or my background here in Plains, decided that I was also a racial conservative.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“In the true sense one’s native land, with its background of tradition, early impressions, reminiscences and other things dear to one, is not enough to make sensitive human beings feel at home.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
