About this song
- Speaking in an interview Tim revealed the inspiration behind the song: “I wrote most of “Someone to Stay” when I was on a missions trip in Cambodia. Seeing poverty and brokenness around me to that scale was really eye-opening and made me realize that nobody should ever have to be alone like that. I started noticing it a whole heap more in Los Angeles as well (where I recorded the whole album). The city is so prosperous yet there are so many people on the streets. It’s just really sad and the song is about how I felt seeing all of that.“ “Making this song was really special,” Bettinson tells Billboard. “It was one of those magic moments where everything just came together and the song immediately made sense; and we got to record a children’s choir on it, which has always been a dream of mine.” .
