“Before we had our first grandchild,” Bishop remembers, “everyone kept telling me that there was no love like it. I kept hearing that. Finally I asked someone, ‘wait… I love my wife and my daughters as much as I could love anyone… so it’s like that right?’ They said, ‘no… it’s a whole new love.’ I immediately dismissed it, thinking, ‘yeah, right.’ But it turns out that they were right.”

For the video of the song that notes "God’s had a lot of great ideas, but the one I think I love the most, Has to be grandkids," Bishop asked fans to send in video clips of theirs to include.

“It really is a whole new love,” Bishop says. “And that ‘new’ love… that's what this song is about.”
