LOS ANGELES, Calif. (February 18, 2022) – Multi-GRAMMY® winning, Platinum-selling duo, and Curb | Word Entertainment recording artist FOR KING + COUNTRY drops their latest track, “Love Me Like I Am,” from their forthcoming full-length studio album WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR? (due March 11). Out today with an accompanying music video, “Love Me Like I Am” is available on all digital platforms. Check out the song here.
Written by Joel and Luke Smallbone, Josh Kerr, and Michael Pollack, “Love Me Like I Am” is the third instant grat track to be released from their upcoming album. The mid-tempo song features confessional lyrics that address personal insecurities and shortcomings, paired with raw vulnerability in the presence of a grace that gives without condition.
“I was sleeping and the phrase ‘Love me Like I Am’ captured me,” says Joel Smallbone. “The following day, we went into a writing session and our producer Josh Kerr added…It’s amazing that you can, Love me like I am. It’s a beautiful story to us – the fact that God can love humanity the way He does, and we can love each other the way we do with unconditional love.”
In conjunction with their upcoming album release, WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR? – THE TOUR will also launch this spring. The 34-city run will take FOR KING + COUNTRY to arenas across the United States, performing brand new songs from the album against the backdrop of an all-new stage design.
