Amy Grant Explores “How Do We Get There From Here” on New Duet with Ruby Amanfu

March 27, 2026: Ahead of her first album of original songs in over a decade, six-time GRAMMY® Award winner and 2022 Kennedy Center Honoree Amy Grant has released a new single, "How Do We Get There From Here" featuring and co-written with 2x Song of the Year GRAMMY® Award nominee, recording artist, songwriter & producer Ruby Amanfu. Written in the wake of the 2023 Covenant school shooting in Nashville, and released exactly three years later, the song wrestles with grief, accountability, and the urgent question of how to move forward-not just in the aftermath of tragedy, but within an increasingly divided world.

"Could any of this fighting be worth these children's lives?" Grant asks in the song's powerful lyrics, coupled with Amanfu adding, "When the ink dries on our story / What will history reveal / Will we have been part of the problem / Or a part of how we heal?"

What began as a response to one devastating moment has grown into a broader reflection on the challenges of finding common ground in a fractured society-asking how people with differing perspectives can still come together in pursuit of a shared good.

In the wake of the Covenant school shooting, Grant and Amanfu joined a coalition of artists-including Sheryl Crow, Allison Russell and Margo Price-in calling on the Tennessee General Assembly to address gun reform . When those efforts stalled, Grant found herself returning to a central question: how do we move forward together when agreement feels out of reach?

"After six beautiful people, including a longtime friend of mine, were killed in the Covenant school shooting, several artists met with legislators in Nashville," Grant says. "In the wake of that gridlock, we kept asking ourselves, how can we identify and reach a common goal? How can we move beyond what divides us? Unity is not sameness. Unity is standing together in spite of our differences. Ruby and I hope our song 'How Do We Get There From Here' can fan the flame of hope to create a safer space for all of us to push beyond our differences for the greater good."

"Linking arms with Amy Grant to co-write 'How Do We Get There From Here' was born out of the knowledge that sometimes forward motion can feel like walking through mud in boots too big for our feet…but we still have to take a first step, then another, and another after that," Amanfu adds. "Those steps are made easier when we do it together, hand in hand. Our song is a call to come together on an issue that has divided our nation-but an issue that we have to do more about because the truth is that doing little to nothing hasn't kept us safe. Rather, it's allowed the distance between us to grow wider, and the consequences of that are something we're all living with now. Sometimes the hardest thing is sitting down and talking with someone we disagree with. This song asks a simple but really difficult question: what would happen if we chose compassion first? Could it open a door that has been barricaded shut on both sides? Could we take down one brace at a time until the door finally opens?"
