NEEDTOBREATHE and Tori Kelly join forces for a powerful testimony on “I’ve Got A Story.” The soulful collaboration pairs the southern rock band with the pop sensation for the first time. Backed by a Gospel choir, Kelly and NEEDTOBREATHE frontman Bear Rinehart sing of redemptive change and the power we possess in simply telling our story across the fresh track.
As the sole writer, Rinehart penned the original selection exclusively for the soundtrack that accompanies new Amazon Prime Video series “House of David,” inspired by the life and times of King David — “a man after God’s own heart,” who experienced his fair share of both shame and salvation. The multi-artist project also features brand new recordings from for KING + COUNTRY, Anne Wilson, Chris Tomlin, Blessing Offor and more.

“I heard about the show and always felt connected to the story of David. I could always see myself in his story. Sometimes beauty and brokenness can exist in the same place,” Rinehart offers. “The song, ‘I’ve Got A Story,’ is really my story. I’m honored to be part of the ‘House of David’ soundtrack.”
Echoing Rinehart’s sentiments, Kelly adds, “‘I’ve Got A Story’ is a song about struggle, perseverance, reflection and triumph. I believe its message is relatable to so many people going through trials and tribulations in their lives. I hope this song finds anyone who listens to it in a moment when they need it most, whether they’re going through a painful time or a moment of victory.”
NEEDTOBREATHE and Kelly premiered their first live performance of the song exclusively on KLOVE.com before also unveiling a performance video with The Choir Room.
A three-time GRAMMY® winner, Kelly released a Gospel collection — “Hiding Place” — in 2018. No stranger to Christian music, the “Unbreakable Smile” singer has previously collaborated with for KING + COUNTRY, Forrest Frank, Lecrae and Cory Asbury. She’s scheduled to open for Ed Sheeran’s European tour later this year.
