He’s Got You was written by my friend, Quincy Roan. Quincy initially wrote He’s Got You as part of a songwriting challenge that he was participating in. There was no real story behind the song at the time. Several weeks later, Quincy decided to record a full CD of his original songs, including He’s Got You. He asked me to help him with the production, recording, and mixing of his project.

About two weeks before our planned recording start date, Quincy was diagnosed with a very aggressive and widespread form of cancer, with a grim prognosis. A couple of months later, while Quincy was undergoing chemo, some of his friends and I put together a benefit with the purpose of raising support to help with Quincy’s medical expenses. We did a worship night and also played three of Quincy’s original songs including He’s Got You, which my wife Jennifer sang.

Somebody who was there recorded the event and sent a copy to Quincy. When Quincy and I spoke, he couldn’t stop talking about how much he loved the way Jennifer sang He’s Got You. He said that the song was perfect for her and that she absolutely poured her heart and soul into it.

So a few weeks later, when Quincy passed away at the age of 37, Jennifer sort of inherited the song. At least as the one who would sing it on the recording. Of course, at this point, He’s Got You had taken on a much deeper and more personal meaning. It had become Quincy’s story. It had become his family’s story. And then, when my family went through a very difficult season, it became our story. He’s Got You became a song that encouraged us through some extremely dark and difficult times.

Please know that any proceeds that come from the sale of Quincy’s songs, as well as additional donations made, will go to support Quincy’s family. This includes his widow Kari, and their kids, Kaleb and Khloe.


I hope you enjoy He’s Got You. If you are going through a difficult season, I hope and pray that He’s Got You will be an encouragement. Thanks and God bless.
