On April 1, 2009, "Beautiful" was officially announced with track listings and a teaser cover on her official website, and on April 6, 2009, the album was officially announced on her Universal website, complete with covers, full track listings, details, and album samples.

The song's lyrics revolve around self-worth and the love of God. "Beautiful" was released on September 17, 2010 as the second single from MercyMe's 2010 album The Generous Mr. Lovewell.
"Beautiful" received generally mixed to positive reviews from critics and attained success on Christian radio, peaking at the top spot on Billboard magazine's Christian Songs, Christian AC Indicator, Christian AC Monitored, and Soft AC/Inspo charts. "Beautiful" ranked at number 7 on the 2011 year-end Christian Songs chart, as well as at number 10 on the 2011 year-end Hot Christian AC chart.
Background and composition
"Beautiful" was written and composed by the members of MercyMe, Dan Muckala, and Brown Bannister. "Beautiful" was written for the daughters of MercyMe's band members. Lead singer Bart Millard, in an interview with Kevin Davis of New Release Tuesday, stated that "We [MercyMe] wrote the song with our daughters in mind. The band has 15 kids among all of us... Satan targets our girls from a materialistic way, telling them how to act and how to look, what to eat and not to eat", also commenting that "I try to tell my kids all the time that they are perfect and I know my daughters need to get their confidence in themselves from me. The way they want to be treated by men needs to come from me".

"Beautiful" is a song by Spanish singer Enrique Iglesias from his tenth studio album, Sex and Love. It features Australian recording artist Kylie Minogue and was also on her Kiss Me Once album. "Beautiful" was written by Iglesias, Mark Taylor, Alex Smith, and Samuel Preston, and it was produced by Taylor and Smith. The song was released as promotional single in Australia and New Zealand on 14 March 2014.
"@" is a studio album by John Zorn and Thurston Moore. It is the first collaborative album by the duo and was recorded in New York City in February, 2013 and released by Tzadik Records in September 2013. The album consists of improvised music by Zorn and Moore that was recorded in the studio in real time with no edits or overdubs.
Reception
Allmusic said "@ finds two of New York City's longest-running fringe dwellers churning out sheets of collaborative sounds that conjoin their respective and distinct states of constant freak-out... These seven improvisations sound inspired without feeling at all heavy-handed or urgent. More so, @ succeeds with the type of conversational playing that could only be achieved by two masters so deep into their craft that it probably feels a lot like breathing to them by now".

DEAD RECKONING (FEAT. FIT FOR A KING) LYRICS
I GAVE UP EVERYTHING
WITH BOTH MY FEET IN THE GRAVE
SOMEHOW I FOUND MY STRENGTH
BEFORE MY SOUL HAD DECAYED
REDEMPTION CALLED MY NAME
BUT IT WAS SCREAMING IN VAIN
NOW ALL THAT’S LEFT INSIDE THESE WALLS IS BLOOD
BLOOD HAS STAINED
NOW ALL THAT’S LEFT INSIDE THESE WALLS IS BLOOD
BLOOD ON MY FACE
I’M RUNNING THROUGH HELL
I’M RUNNING THROUGH SORROW
I SEE THE LIGHT IN THE DISTANCE
I WILL PREVAIL THE DARKEST TOMORROW
THERE’S NO TURNING BACK FOR ME
DEAD RECKONING
MY SHAME WAS CRUSHING ME
POISONED REALITY
BURIED UNDER THE WEIGHT WITH A COUPLE GRENADES
BUT NOW THERE’S BLOOD ON MY FACE
I’M RISING FROM THE FALL
BREAKING DOWN EVERY WALL
NOW THERE’S NOWHERE TO HIDE
BETTER RING THE ALARM
I’M RUNNING THROUGH HELL
I’M RUNNING THROUGH SORROW
I SEE THE LIGHT IN THE DISTANCE
I WILL PREVAIL THE DARKEST TOMORROW
THERE’S NO TURNING BACK FOR ME
I’M RUNNING THROUGH HELL
I’M RUNNING THROUGH SORROW
I SEE THE LIGHT IN THE DISTANCE
I WILL PREVAIL THE DARKEST TOMORROW
THERE’S NO TURNING BACK FOR ME
DEAD RECKONING
STARING DESTINY IN THE FACE
MAKING SURE IT REMEMBERS MY NAME
YOU WILL NOT DESTROY ME
DEAD RECKONING
THROUGH THE BLOOD, THE SWEAT, THE SACRIFICE
I'LL BREAK THROUGH THE WALL NO MATTER THE PRICE
THROUGH THE PAIN, THE HURT, THE HEARTACHE
TEARING DOWN THE SKY MY SOUL TO RETAKE
