Matthew West is one of the great song lyrics writers of our day.  Some of West’s popular singles include, "More," which peaked at number one on Christian AC charts for nine weeks, "The End,"  "You Know Where to Find Me,"  "Next Thing You Know," "Only Grace," and "History." "You Are Everything" peaked at number one on Christian AC charts in March 2008.

With the release of his Dove Award-winning debut album Happy (2003) came the success of his first radio single "More" which stayed at number one on Christian AC charts for nine weeks and received two Dove Award nominations. His second record History (2005) was followed by a 2006 re-release of the originally independent album Sellout. In 2007 he faced vocal issues which threatened his career and two months of prescribed vocal rest. West's third studio album Something to Say (2008) was released in January of the following year and also enjoyed chart success with its number one hit "You Are Everything" in the March 2008.

“Life Inside You” is an unforgettable example of the power of his new album, Something to Say. Based on a true story, Matthew captures the struggles—and Hope—of a teenage couple facing pregnancy and addiction. “This young couple, with all the potential in the world, on the verge of throwing in the towel… somehow in the center of what seemed so hopeless, that tiny heart was beating… She kept the baby. It’s a boy. They got sober and got married. Redemption is real.”
