Christina Perri is transitioning nicely into 2014, having introduced her upcoming sophomore album Head or Heart and its first single, “Human”.
Perri debuted her second single, an inspirational ballad called “I Believe”, on December 30, Radio.com reports.
“I Believe” was written for To Write Love On Your Arms, a non-profit organization dedicated to giving individuals battling suicidal thoughts, addiction, and self-harm a place to find hope.
The organization’s founder, Jamie Tworkowski, wanted Perri to perform on their tour but she was unable to make it because she had studio commitments. Instead, she agreed to headline TWLOYA’s three shows in California.
“I had so many of the issues this organization deals with as a teenager and as a young woman and that I continue to deal with daily. I felt very, very connected emotionally to this topic,” Perri told Radio.com.
The singer/songwriter gushed about its effect on the audience when she performed the song, and how it ended up being a part of Head or Heart.
“I wrote this song just for these kids and had no idea it would make the album at all. I go and do this show and it was as magical as I’ve ever dreamed it to be, even better. I had goosebumps and there were people crying and it was this really, really special moment. It went ‘Jar of Hearts’ crazy, where people were getting tattoos of the lyrics. It’s the album closer. I had a British children’s choir. It’s exactly what I hoped it would be, the way it came out. It has one of those genuine stories for me. It was meant to be on this album. It was just bigger than me. It became a part of my life,” she recalled.
Head or Heart will be available March 11.
Fans will receive “I Believe” free of charge if they pre-order the album now.
