About "Back to God" by Reba McEntire

The best known version of the song is McEntire's from her 2017 album of Christian music. However, it was originally recorded by Randy Houser in 2008.

“I had to make it different because [Houser's version] was so good,” McEntire told Rolling Stone. “So we got it on there, but it’s a great song! Everybody was saying, ‘Oh my gosh, we need this, we need this song right now.’ Well, we’ve always needed this song.”

She described it as a song about fellowship and God bringing people together.

“I think this album really helped... keep me busy on something that is good and positive and healing, which music is,” McEntire told The Oklahoman about the album. “These songs of faith and hope, that's what you gotta have when you're going through bad times — and good times. You gotta have faith and hope to carry you through each day.”
