Background

The title Chapter & Verse was inspired by Barrett's faith,^[3] and she co-wrote nine of the album's 14 tracks and co-produced the project with Ross Copperman.^[4] Phil Wickham is featured on the closing track, and Luke Combs lends background vocals to "Dance Like No One's Watching", a song Combs co-wrote about being the parent to a daughter. He gave it to Barrett after discovering his wife was expecting a boy, knowing that Barrett had just given birth to a girl.^[5]

"Glory Days" was released as the album's lead single on June 12, 2023.^[6] "Cowboy Back", "Growin' Up Raising You", and "You're My Texas" were all issued as promotional singles leading up to the album release.^[3] Barrett co-wrote the latter track as a tribute to her Texan husband Cade Foehner, with Miranda Lambert who also hails from East Texas.^[3] "Dance Like No One's Watching" was released as the second single from the album on April 8, 2024. "Jesus on a Train" was released on October 14, 2024, as the album's third overall single, and Barrett's first single to the Christian radio format.^[7]
