New Single Marks the First Music to be Released from Upcoming Film, Slated to Hit Theaters on February 20, 2026
Let the excitement begin! Mercyme has just released the first single from the upcoming Andrew Erwin and Brent McCorkle-directed I Can Only Imagine 2, which is coming to theaters on February 20, 2026 via Kingdom Story Co and Lionsgate. The highly anticipated film picks up years after the events of the first film and will feature returning actors John Michael Finley (Bart Millard), Dennis Quaid (Arthur Millard) and Trace Adkins (Scott Brickell), while adding Milo Ventimiglia (Tim Timmons), Arielle Kebbel (Hilary Timmons) and Sophie Skelton (Shannon Millard) to the film’s cast.
Mercyme’s Bart Millard had this to say about the new song:
“The idea for ‘Make It Well’ actually came from wrestling with the hymn ‘It Is Well’ – which I have sung all my life. It’s always during tragic times – funerals and moments like that – and I realized during those difficult moments that I’m kind of lying when I say, ‘it is well with my soul’ because normally it isn’t well with my soul. When you’re in the middle of the struggle, it can be tough to sing that song and really mean it. So I kept thinking if I were to write a song like that, I would change the lyric to ‘make it well.’ So ‘Make It Well’ is for those like me who are still in the middle of the struggle – just trying to get by – and who know they are not going to get through it without the help of the Holy Spirit.”
