Story behind the song “Fake It”:

“Writing this song was one of the funnest days I've ever had in the studio. I remember that we were all talking about some of the life stuff we were all dealing with and pushing through and then Chris turned on the beginning of this track and it was like a joy bomb went off in the room! The lyric and melody came easy because it's honest, true and FUN."

– Tauren Wells

"Although the season is changing in my life, ministry and professionally, my prayer isn't...that God would use these melodies, lyrics, and rhythms to encourage, uplift, and bring joy to you and others all over the world. The ultimate aim for this song and the album to follow is to lift the name of Jesus. Annnnnddddd we're gonna have a party while we do it."

-Tauren Wells

Lyrics to “Fake It”:

I was chasing counterfeits
Tryin to find a fix
But all that I was missing was you
My hope was runnin' out
Until you came around
And showed me there was nothing to prove (crazy)

Some would say it's unexplainable
But I know, yeah
I know what you can do

Oooo
You're changing my altitude
Your love is a whole new mood
Somethin' I can put my faith in
Oooo
You struck a match in the dark
You're melting my plastic heart
This is real don't have to fake it

It all quit makin' sense
Keepin' up appearances
'Cause there ain't no impressing you
You said don't act like it's all good, life ain't Hollywood, no
No, no, no, no

Oooo
You're changing my altitude
Your love is a whole new mood
Somethin' I can put my faith in
Oooo
You struck a match in the dark
You're melting my plastic heart
This is real don't have to fake it

You keep the faith in my heart
Never knew a love like this in my life
It was you all along
I know I belong
I'm right where I'm loved

Watch for fakes this real love man it took time
Been chilling down in Florida having good times
Running your race, can't get off track
Don't gotta front when you got my back

Oooo
You're changing my altitude
Your love is a whole new mood
Somethin' I can put my faith in
Oooo
You struck a match in the dark
You're melting my plastic heart
This is real don't have to fake it
