Comments about the song by band members
This is what band members Emily and Natalie commented about the writing process of "I Hope":
Emily: "Kevin was one of the last writers we wrote with, and it was so nice and so comfortable working with him.With what he's been through and where he grew up, it's important to him to write positive, uplifting songs."

Natalie: "On the other hand, he wasn't afraid to get political, and this ultimately turned out to be a pretty serious song. Hopeful and positive, but serious."
