"Joy." finds the Smallbone brothers urging people to slow down and take time away from their communication devices. Joel Smallbone told Billboard: "This song took six months to write, and we wrote it partly here in Nashville, some in England, some in Los Angeles, and it was not a finicky song at all to write, we just have a long process. On the song itself, I think that people are so attached to their phones, screens, social media that you need to pause and see the joy, in human connection and interaction." Luke Smallbone added "There's a real beauty in diversity and different opinions. If you can be open and free about it, that's where the joy is."
For King & Country are backed on the track by a 100-person choir.
The song was co-produced by British singer-songwriter Matt Hales, who records under the moniker of Aqualung. He had a #7 hit in the UK in 2002 with "Strange and Beautiful."
