The title track was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song for The Oscars (2014). On January 29, 2014, the nomination was rescinded. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said that composer Bruce Broughton, a former governor and then-current executive committee member of the music branch of the Academy, had contacted other branch members with a request "For Your Consideration.". The Board of Governors said that that "creates the appearance of an unfair advantage". There was a backlash against the Academy's actions, but the nomination was not reinstated. The winning song in that category was ultimately "Let It Go" from Frozen (2013).
The title track is sung by Joni Eareckson Tada, who is quadriplegic. Because her condition affects her lungs, her husband had to push her diaphragm to help her reach the high notes.
