"“We have never been as excited about new songs as we are about the ones on this album. We truly believe it's the best music we’ve ever made. There's definitely a lot of dynamics...the rock songs rock harder than anything we've done and there are some quiet ballads with piano and strings. The songs are honest and come from the good and bad experiences that we've had over the last couple years and the ways that we've seen God work though them. The title of the album is Never Going Back to Okay, which is also the name of one of the songs. It's about never being content with where you are, but always striving to become more and making the most of the one life that we're given.”
