Jo Dee Messina – “That’s God”

Jo Dee Messina’s next single, which will hit country radio on January 19, is called “That’s God.” The song was written by Jo Dee during her tour at a time when she need inspiration the most.

“That song really is my soul on a page,” says Jo Dee. “My son Noah was five months old at the time, and we were walking down this path and could see this snow-capped mountain that was enormous, but you felt like you could just reach out and touch it. I looked at my son and that mountain and said, 'That's God.'” After telling that story on stage at her show that night, a member of her band told Jo Dee that they needed to make that experience into a song. The lyrics include “Have you ever heard a song that reached inside your soul/It says what you can’t say, let's you know you’re not alone/You find the inspiration to keep on holding on/That’s God.”

Jo Dee shared her emotions while telling the story of “That’s God” in a video posted on her website. You can watch the video and listen to the song HERE.

Unmistakable, Jo Dee’s first new album in 5 years, is due out this spring.
