“I’m Standing With You”
Katie Cloyd
ECM Group Nashville (release date: October 31, 2025)

By Robert M. Marovich

Katie Cloyd’s cover of Diane Warren’s composition “I’m Standing With You” sounds even more like a gospel song than when it was first sung by Chrissy Metz for the 2019 film Breakthrough. The single’s universal message of undying friendship, coupled with the I’ve-got-your-back manner in which Cloyd sings it, could easily make it a country crossover hit.

In addition to singing, Cloyd is a freelance writer whose work has been published in such periodicals as Martha Stewart Living.
