Song meaning

"After hours of looking at photos online of soldiers, solely for the sake of a picture to be worked into the artwork of the release of "Frontlines" I was so moved and inspired by the commitment, not to mention the emotional and physical risk our soldiers take for strangers every day, that I had to create this as a reminder. We are blessed that we are protected by such strong hearts." - Elias Soriano[2]

Music video

The official music video premiered on MTV2 on September 23. In addition, Nonpoint's frontman, Elias Soriano, made a viral video and the band released it on their YouTube channel in August, a month and a half before the release of the official music video.[3]
