Songfacts®:

  • This is the title track of American Christian rock band Third Day's tenth studio album and fourteenth overall release. Frontman Mac Powell told Billboard magazine that he believes the record's lyrics are lighter than on their previous release. "Revelation was more introspective," he said pointing to this track specifically. "In the chorus there is a question that says, 'Tell me, should I stay here or do I need to move?' We feel like the answer with this record is to do something about your faith and put your faith into action."
  • The song was premiered on September 11, 2010 on ESPN, during the Alabama-Penn State college football game.
  • Powell said this song is aimed at people outside of the church. "'Make Your Move' is definitely coming from the view of someone outside of the church saying, 'If this is really true, you need to prove this to me because right now I need something real in my life,'" he explained.
