Sanctus Real Shares Their Thoughts Behind New Single "Won't Let Me Go"

Two Grammy Award nominated and six GMA Dove nominated Sanctus Real has released their single "Won't Let Me Go." The song is also the title track on their latest five-song project, which was released on April 22. "Won't Let Me Go" was produced and co-written with David Spencer ("In Jesus Name [God of Possible]" from Katy Nichole).
Chris Rohman, Sanctus Real's guitarist, shares, "We've spent the last two years, as many have, wondering if we had taken for granted the sense of 'normal' we initially longed for in the midst of a worldwide pandemic. It didn't take long for us to realize that nothing about this life is normal! There's no hiding the fact that we live in a broken world and in that brokenness, we have always had an anchor through the good and the bad."
He continues, "We wrote most of these new songs in response to seeing God's faithfulness all around us during an incredibly difficult time. 'Won't Let Me Go' is a statement of worship to our Savior, a profession that even in the darkest places, even when our faith is shaking, we know that God will never let us go. We've seen this to be true and we hope others can find solace in the simplicity of that statement as well."
"Won't Let Me Go" follows "My God Is Still The Same," which held its spot on the Billboard Audience chart for more than 40 weeks, peaking at No. 2 while accumulating 13MM total streams.
