Love Wins

Carrie Underwood calls out prejudice on this passionate cry for unity. She asks why people can't consider compassion and understanding rather than letting our differing views create division. Politics and prejudice How the hell'd it ever come to this? Everybody's gotta pick a side It don't matter if you're wrong or right However, rather than being a song that criticizes those who often jump to conclusions and react with anger, its driving force is a celebration of uniqueness. I believe we're made to be here for each other And we'll never fall if we walk hand in hand Put a world that seems broken together again Yeah I, I believe in the end love wins

Underwood wrote the song with David Garcia and Brett James. Speaking to the media, Underwood admitted that writing "Love Wins" was "scary" at first, as she didn't want the meaning of the song to be misconstrued. She explained that rather than "trying to speak negatively about our world," she wanted to write a song that highlights how our differences are what make us unique, rather than being a bad thing. "We wanted that song to be hopeful and to maybe make somebody stop and think about that," she said. "I feel like we get really caught up in surface things, and I feel like, in this world, we're quick to get angry at each other," Underwood added. "I personally think that we're all different for a reason. I feel like if you just sit down and talk to somebody who's not like you and keep it calm, we can all learn from each other."

"'Love Wins' started out with an instrumental track which Carrie Underwood, David Garcia and Brett James agreed was inspiring, hopeful and joyous. James suggested the stirring music needs a grand title to go with, land suggested "Love Wins." Underwood agreed and the three of them set out to write a song around that name.
