He shared what it meant to have his family hear it. He said, "To finally get to share the song with my family was both emotional and exciting. Raleigh, Cavanaugh, and her husband Kyle are the heartbeat of our daily lives and have been great leaning posts for me and Mary. To hear that familiar voice again filled their hearts with happiness and their eyes with tears."
He continued explaining what it meant to him. He said, "Eleven years ago I never thought I would be able to have a hand in music production of any kind, but by God's grace and the support of family, friends, fellow artists, and fans, I'm able to create the music I so dearly love. Working with Kyle Lehning and Warner Music Nashville again has been so special and nostalgic, and I'm so excited to share my new song 'Where That Came From' with you today. Many thanks to my wonderful team and the best fans in the world for putting me back in the saddle again! I've enjoyed every moment of it."
Likewise, he played the song for several artists such as Walker and also Carrie Underwood. She wrote to him, "Congratulations Randy Travis on the release of #WhereThatCameFrom!
