Another notable track from the album is “Pray” which Smith he performed on Saturday Night Live in 2017 and at the Grammies earlier this year. He wrote the song after spending a week in Mosul with War Child, a charity that provides assistance to children in areas experiencing conflict.

“We are all looking around at what’s happening in the world and it is just messed up,” Smith explains. “You’ve got no choice but to look up to the sky and put your hands together and pray for something to happen.”
