The song is featured in the film Unsung Hero
The multi-platinum and four-time Grammy Award-winning duo For King + Country drops their first song of 2024, as well as their first from the Unsung Hero movie inspired-by soundtrack, with a re-imagined Michael W. Smith classic hit song, “Place In This World, ” featuring Smith himself. This marks the beginning of the launch of the “inspired-by” album from the duo to be announced, with more singles in the coming weeks.
“The 90s song, ‘Place In This World,’ by the nobleman, Michael W. Smith, was part of our Australian soundtrack as youngsters,” the duo of Joel and Luke Smallbone share. “And it is now an indelible part of our upcoming film Unsung Hero! It was a true thrill to partner with Michael and put our own spin on this classic. Grateful to him for joining us on this project.”
New forthcoming music from For King + Country will be announced, as it is the first installment of more to come this year. The duo is also nominated for a 2024 Grammy Award with multi-platinum recording artist Jordin Sparks for their song, “Love Me Like I Am.”
Their family biopic, Unsung Hero will be in theaters nationwide on April 26th via Lionsgate.
Based on a remarkable true story, Unsung Hero follows Helen and David Smallbone as they move their family from Down Under to the States, searching for a brighter future after David’s successful music company collapses. With nothing more than their seven children, suitcases, and their love of music, David (For King + Country’s Joel Smallbone) and his pregnant wife Helen (Daisy Betts) set out to rebuild their lives. Helen’s faith stands against all odds and inspires her husband and children to hold onto theirs. With their dreams on hold, David and Helen begin to realize the musical prowess in their children, who would go on to become two of the most successful acts in inspirational history — five-time Grammy Award-winning artists For King + Country and Rebecca St. James. The film stars Daisy Betts, Joel Smallbone, Kirrilee Berger, Jonathan Jackson, Lucas Black, with Candace Cameron Bure, and Terry O’Quinn. It was directed and written by Joel Smallbone and Richard L. Ramsey and produced by Joshua Walsh, Justin Tolley, Joel Smallbone and Luke Smallbone.
