Songfacts®:

  • The title track of Lauren Daigle's third album, "Look Up Child" finds the singer drawing on the innocence and purity of childhood to help her maintain a passion for life.

    "There's so many things in life as adults you get completely overwhelmed by," Daigle explained to Billboard. "There's new pressures. You take on opinions of others…we become labeled. And it gets really difficult the older you get. And I was like, you know what? I don't want to live like that. I want to be carefree and wild."

  • MaryI’m encouraged by the song because as the scripture says, “ unless we become as little children we will in no wise enter into the Kingdom of heaven”. Little children have not yet been contaminated by using their own reason and logic, they simply look up and believe.
