The song is an ode to a person who has died. The narrator talks about their journey to get to Heaven and that they'll see each other on the "other side" when the time comes.
In his review of the album, Ray Waddell of Billboard called it "the kind of languid big-picture [ballad] that he just kills".[2] An uncredited review in the Plainview Daily Herald called the song "much more ambitious than the usual George Strait tune".[3] Greg Crawford of Knight Ridder News Service wrote that it had "moving but never maudlin lyrics" and "is the clear standout" of the album.[4]
"You'll Be There" debuted at number 30 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs for the week of April 9, 2005.
