In the track “Belong” Gabriel puts forward his feelings in his battle with depression and how his faith in God has helped him through it, “No, I wasn't okay/ I was about to break/ I was lost and discarded/ But you pulled me from grey/ Took me from yesterday/ I belong where your heart is”.

Having my faith really kept me anchored.

Talking with American Songwriter he opens up more about what his faith means to him and how it has influenced his writing processes, “You can lose yourself so quickly…having my faith really kept me anchored in the sense of, if I was ever drifting toward one thing or another that wasn’t truly me, or what I stood for, I was able to check myself.”

Conte has also said that he is looking to continue to pursue music in his life, saying “I would love to develop myself even more as a musician.”
