The Real Meaning Behind NEEDTOBREATHE And Carrie Underwood's 'I Wanna Remember'

NEEDTOBREATHE and Carrie Underwood's "I Wanna Remember" is described as "a nostalgic track and takes you back to the moments you never want to forget." The band said in a press release (via Billboard), "We all came from small towns, and those roots have cemented into the fabric of the band and our music." They added, "We felt like [Underwood's] small town roots and humble beginnings were the perfect addition to this song."

On the song, the country superstar sings (per Genius), "The night is clear / All of the stars out in the atmosphere / Wishing that they were you and me right here / They're showing off for us / I don't wanna forget it," before belting the chorus with NEEDTOBREATHE frontman Bear Rinehart.

The band also shared the meaning behind the track, telling CMT it's about life's fleetingness. "Moments are here and then they are gone in an instant. We hope this song can be a soundtrack to some epic life moments for people in all walks of life," they said. "Whether it's walking down the aisle for your wedding, graduating college, or crossing something off the bucket list, we'd be honored if 'I Wanna Remember' was a part of it."
