“It was the height of national hysteria when Jared Mitchell and I sat down to write ‘Freedom’ during the 2020 lockdown. The song sat a few years collecting dust in the Faultlines’ demo pile, waiting for the right moment to record,” says John Flanagan. Ashley Morgan adds, "It was after the devastating shooting at a Nashville elementary school in 2023 that I watched with frustration as two Tennessee Representatives were expelled for their participation in a peaceful protest against gun violence. Listening to the demo again, it was clear this is a message that needs to be heard."

The song was written by John Flanagan and Jared Mitchell and produced by David Kidd, and features guitar by David Kidd and Accordion by Andrew Van Vlear.

"Freedom" is not just a song; it’s a rallying cry for those who demand change and justice. Faultlines' new single is set to inspire and mobilize a generation to stand up, speak out, and fight for the future they believe in.
