Hillary Scott & the Scott Family will release their faith-based album, Love Remains, on Friday (July 29th), and the first single from the project, “Thy Will,” has already reached the top of Billboard’s Hot Christian Singles chart.
Hillary wrote “Thy Will” following her miscarriage last fall, while she was kind of asking God why would this happen to her and her family.
“For me, the story is when we were on tour last summer, my husband Chris and I just decided we wanted to expand our family. We got pregnant in July and then miscarried in September,” says Hillary. “And so ‘Thy Will’ is me talking to God and asking him why, like, ‘Okay, I thought this was a go. We prayed about it. We were going to bring Eisele a sibling and for all of it to kind of not happen.’ It was my honest conversation with God about why do bad things happen, but ultimately I trust your will for my life and that it’s all going to be okay. So, to be able to write that song was such a part of my healing process for me in the beginning and now even more so with it being out and having people’s feedback in their own lives and the stories that they are sharing with me in how this song is touching them.”
Hillary and her husband Chris Tyrell, the drummer for Lady Antebellum, have a daughter Eisele who just turned three-years-old today (Friday, July 22nd).
Audio / Hillary Scott wrote her current single “Thy Will” about questioning God’s plan for her life following her miscarriage last year. She wanted to wait to reveal what sort of personal heartbreak she was going through when she released the song to give people a chance to relate to the song with their own journeys.

“It really was an intentional decision, just because I wanted everybody have a chance to hear it and put their own life and their own story in it. For me, the story is when we were on tour last summer, my husband Chris and I just decided we wanted to expand our family. We got pregnant in July and then miscarried in September. And so ‘Thy Will’ is me talking to God and asking him why, like, ‘Okay, I thought this was a go. We prayed about it. We were going to bring Eisele a sibling and for all of it to kind of not happen.’ It was my honest conversation with God about why do bad things happen, but ultimately I trust your will for my life and that it’s all going to be okay.
