• This song suggests a search for faith, but Williams told The Sun the idea of faith that she is singing about is not strictly a religious one. She explained: "It means have faith in yourself and believe in the spirit that will carry you through the dark times."
• At 12:44, Williams thought this was too long to be on Ghosts of Highway 20, but her manager/husband Tom Overby insisted. "It's just this thing we did that was based on 'Just a Little More Faith,' which had been recorded by Mississippi Fred McDowell," she told Acoustic Guitar Magazine. "But then Tom said, 'Oh, yeah, it's gonna be on there.'"
• Though Williams doesn't consider herself agnostic, she isn't part of a church. The singer told The Wall Street Journal: "Both my grandfathers were Methodist ministers. So it's in my blood. I appreciate the roots of it all. I've explored different areas of spirituality. I don't know. I know there's something. I'm not just a rock. There's a quantum thing, an energy thing – God, whatever you want to call it. That's what God is to me. I feel it in a different ways and places and you can call it whatever you want to."
