During a recent interview with American Songwriter, Lang explained “It was God working through me, and I just held the pen as I wrote the song “I’m Not Going Anywhere.” But as a cancer survivor, I want to tell my secret on what I gained from it. You hear the word cancer and some immediately think it is a death sentence, but I chose to look at it as my “life” sentence. I began to live more boldly and appreciate life much more. After my diagnosis the sky looked bluer, the grass looked greener, and I truly began to soar, challenging myself each day.”

“This whole experience has been very humbling,” shares Lang. “This commercial couldn’t have come at a better time, honoring the caregivers and lifting up the patients during the pandemic. I have received messages from around the world sharing their heartfelt reactions to I’m Not Going Anywhere.’ This has opened so many doors and I look forward to sharing my story in person with you soon!”
Lang was inspired to write the song in 2004 as she watched a close friend manage a loved one’s illness. Three months later, she was diagnosed with stage two breast cancer and began a journey of her own at Ascension Saint Thomas Midtown Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee. In remission since 2005, Kelly has said that she hopes her voice can echo beacons of light and encourage patients with cancer to continue fighting. “I’m Not Going Anywhere” has been recorded by country legends T.G. Sheppard and Crystal Gayle, featured in Burt Reynolds’ movie, The Deal, and was included on Lang’s album 11:11, but never released as a single. In 2019, a portion of the song was picked up for a regional campaign in Nashville and surrounding markets by Ascension Saint Thomas Hospital. After an overwhelmingly positive reaction from the area, it is now being used in television and radio commercials across the country, soaring Lang’s popularity to new heights.
