"Closer to Love" is the first single from Mat Kearney's third album City of Black & White. It was released as a digital download on March 10, 2009.[1] The song was featured in USA Today and chosen as the "Pick of the week."[2] The music video was released on March 27, 2009.
Kearney explained to Relevant Magazine that this song is, "about dealing with the difficulties of a tough world, or maybe about the tough world we see our friends living in, or maybe it's something about the growing we are all a part of—longing for something whole and perfect—like we are just passing through this place."[3]
On September 6, 2011, Taylor Swift covered this song on her Speak Now World Tour in Portland, Oregon at the Rose Garden Arena.[4]
