“Angels Fall” is a song on Now & Then Vol. 1 inspired by a young woman that HOPP’s wife mentored. He said this woman would struggle between her faith and other parts of her life, and the song calls people to keep a healthy balance of their faith and reality.

“Here is this girl who is an angel but she continues to fall and stumble on a day to day basis, but God still loves her regardless.”

“Another Place” is about forgetting a tedious, difficult time in life and relieving your mind by going to another place. “My wife and I, to relieve our minds, we’ll go on a vacation. We’ll get away [and] stop thinking about work, music, family, and that is what that song is representing.”

“All The Way Up” is a remix of Fat Joe’s “I’m All The Way Up” and HOPP speaks about being “All The Way Up” in music, life, and faith. “Going to the max, giving it your all, and letting people hear your heart.”
