rdf:langString "When I Pray for You" is a song recorded by American country music duo Dan + Shay for the soundtrack to the 2017 drama film, The Shack. Written by group members Shay Mooney and Dan Smyers with Justin Ebach and Jon Nite, the song is told from the perspective of a father-to-be and describes the unconditional love a parent feels for their child. Smyers also co-produced the track with Scott Hendricks and Scott Johnson. It was released February 3, 2017 through Atlantic Records as the soundtrack's third promotional single. It was expected to impact country radio in late February 2017, however this release did not materialize. Upon its release, the song was the highest-selling track in the Christian music genre for the week and debuted at number 3 on the Billboard Christian Songs chart in the group's first appearance. It also entered in the top 40 of the Hot Country Songs chart.
