Caleb Parke of Fox News first reported in an article that "Stand in Your Love" would be released by Josh Baldwin in July 2018.[7] A live performance video of Josh Baldwin singing the song at Heaven Come Conference 2018 was published on YouTube by Bethel Music in July 2018.[8][9] Bethel Music then released the radio-adapted version of "Stand in Your Love" on August 10, 2018 in digital format.[10][11] The song impacted Christian radio in the United States on August 17, 2018.[4]

Writing and development

edit

Josh Baldwin had an interview with Kevin Davis, lead contributor at NewReleaseToday about the song and the inspiration behind it.[12] Davis asked about the personal story behind the song, to which Baldwin responded, saying:

The song kind of came out of nowhere for me. I hadn't been doing too much songwriting at the time as I had just released my album The War Is Over, and wasn't in a season of thinking much about new songs. I was in Dallas, Texas on a trip and I ended up staying an extra day and stayed with Rita Springer and Mark Harris at Gateway Church. I was hanging out and they were writing songs for their Gateway album and I ended up staying and writing this song with them. Another guy named Ethan Hulse from Nashville who I had just met that day came in to tell us he was leaving and told us he had this song idea and the chorus. I was blown away and knew we needed to jump on it. He had about 45 minutes before he had to leave and we finished the song from there.

– Josh Baldwin, NewReleaseToday[12]
