• As Building 429 frontman Jason Roy began to write new material following the release of their Live The Journey album, he saw many of those around him struggling: Roy's longtime manager Gabriel Vasque was battling cancer, a member of his family separated from their spouse and another friend was diagnosed with brain cancer. This song of encouragement to persevere through tough times came out of his trying to understand where God is during such difficult events.
  
  "It just feels like this season of life has all these curve balls that don't make sense," he sighed to Billboard. "So when I wrote the lyric, 'This isn't what I'd choose, but it's where I'm finding you. When I'm broken and undone, your mercy has just begun' - to write a lyric that says I'm not giving up, I'm just giving in to what You've planned."
• Roy found himself practicing what he was preaching with the anthemic song's production.
  
  "People say slide guitar won't work on a radio single. Well, I put slide guitar all over it," he laughed. "Someone said, 'You can't put another choir on it,' and we worked with this guy who did all the vocals for Glee and we tracked 40 people singing all over it and we're putting a key change in it. I'm breaking loose of all these chains that have held me in a fear mode. Every step of this song has been an exercise of saying, 'I don't know where this is going to end, but I'm not going to fear in it.'"
• "Fear No More" was the first single to be released by 3rd Wave Musica, a partnership between Building 429 and Gabriel Vasquez.
• For Jason Roy, the writing of "Fear No More" was a reminder that God is with us in the trials we undergo. Even though we might not know how its going to end, we must not give in to fear. He explained to NewReleaseToday: "I wanted to write a song that spoke to the reality that many times, the things we wouldn't ever choose actually lead us directly into the most beautiful, life-altering moments where the reality of God's presence is beyond a doubt."
