If I Didn't Have You

The first single from Thompson Square's sophomore album is a fast-paced ballad that was penned by Keifer and Shawna Thompson along with Jason Sellers and Paul Jenkins. "'If I Didn't Have You' is a story about two people who rely on each other to get through the tough thing we call life," explained Keifer. "We all have someone who we can go to for encouragement and this is our story."

Shawna Thompson recalled to The Boot that this song about all-encompassing love came to them quickly. "We wrote that with Jason Sellers and Paul Jenkins, who we wrote 'I Got You' with," she said. "We were out on the road writing and I had just lost my dad like a month before, and Paul had lost his grandfather, too. So we were talking that out and having a little bit of a therapy session, and the title kind of just fell out. Jason and Keifer started playing this cool melody and it didn't take long to write because we had everything we wanted to say in our heads because it was so emotional and so real."

Though it's a personal track, Keifer said the song takes on new meaning to every listener. "It could be about your parents, your friends, about God," he explained. "There's not anybody in the world that doesn't have at least something in their life that impacts them so much that where if it was gone tomorrow it'd be very difficult."
