About the song

John Cooper decided to write "I Want to Live" while wandering the streets of Moscow after a concert in Russia where a fan had given the group a letter in which she talked about suffering from depression. She was laughed at in school and she even thought about suicide, but Skillet's music made her want to live. Cooper was impressed with the "I want to live" line.[2]
