The Story Behind “Just Want You”

“I was actually really emotional and frustrated when I wrote the chorus of this song. I had come home from a meeting and was super discouraged. There was a lot of noise, voices, and opinions speaking into my life and in that moment, I just had to strip everything away. So, I sat down at my keyboard and just began to sing these words straight from my heart: I don’t want it if you’re not in it. I just want you. Soon after I finished this song with some friends from church and we watched it go from a simple prayer to an anthem for so many. And I just pray that this song will help you shut out the noise and truly embrace the presence and the voice of God.”

“I don’t want it if You’re not in it – I just want You. I still get goosebumps every time I hear that line from “Just Want You” – It really became an anthem for our listeners and a top testing song for Air1 for many, many weeks.” – Mandy Young, Program Director – Air1
