Songfacts®:

  • Singer-songwriter Cory Asbury and his wife, Anna, have been married since 2007. They live in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where Asbury serves as a worship pastor at Radiant Church. Cory and Anna have four children: Gabriel, Lily, River, and Willow-Grace.

    "These Are the Days" is a tribute to the joys of parenthood. It is a reminder that the days we spend with our children are precious and fleeting, and that we should cherish every moment.
  • Ethan Hulse (Bethel Music's "Stand in Your Love," Katy Nichole's "In Jesus Name (God of Possible)" and "God Is In This Story") and frequent Lauren Daigle collaborator Paul Mabury helped Asbury write "These Are the Days."
  • Cory Asbury recorded "These Are The Days" for his fourth album, Pioneer. It went viral on Instagram and TikTok as thousands of fans used it to narrate their heartwarming birth and parenting stories. The song's popularity soared further when country star Luke Combs and his wife Nicole used the song to introduce their newborn son, Beau Lee Combs, born on August 15, 2023.
  • On October 27, 2023, Cory Asbury released a fresh single version of "These Are The Days," and this time, he teamed up with Amy Grant to sprinkle her harmonies on top of his lead vocals.
  • This is an entirely different song to Lauren Daigle's "These Are The Days," which was released around the same time.
