Background

edit

After the joint venture of A&M records and Octone Records, the debut album Flyleaf included the radio-edit version of "Fully Alive", replacing the original album version.[citation needed] For reasons unknown, the music video features the radio edit instead of the album version.[citation needed] The radio-edit version contains a variation of the guitar solo from the album version, along with additional lyrics.[citation needed]

It's about the singer for Trust Company, Kevin, his wife Layla. She's an awesome person, and you would never guess in a million years that she has the struggle that she has. Kinda changed my perspective about the way that I complain about things, the way that I wake up sad for no reason, and then she wakes up just glad to wake up.
