If I Had One Chance To Tell You Something is the eighth studio album from Rebecca St. James. The album includes the hit singles "Alive" and "You Are Loved". Writing and development St. James co-wrote 11 out of the 12 tracks on the album, with the songs "God Help Me" and "You Are Loved" being written solely by her. St. James wrote "God Help Me" on her 27th birthday and says of the song, "I love singing this song because to me it’s an essential thought of the Christian life... 'God help me... I’m not enough!'" The album's first single, "Alive", is about how God can refresh people. The title song "You Are Loved" was inspired by an old family friend. St. James says, "This is a song for the prodigals—which is all of us. God is the father that has His arms open wide waiting for us. He wants us to run towards Him and He will run toward us. It’s a song of hope and a message my generation needs to hear. ‘No matter where you've been and what you've done... you are loved.' From this song came the album title—and really the key theme of the project." "Shadowlands" was inspired by the writings of C.S. Lewis, while "Love Being Loved By You" is described by St. James as a worship song. "I Need You" was written for St. James's best friend Karleen. "Beautiful Stranger" is described by the singer as her "Compassion International song". Co-written and co-sung by TobyMac, "Thank You" is a simple message of thanks to God. The song "Take All of Me" was originally written by Hillsong United artist Marty Sampson and was chosen by St. James because of its worshipful tone. St. James says of "Forgive Me", "This song reminds me of the everlasting beauty of God’s grace." The song "I Can Trust You" was written as a reminder to trust God. St. James says of the final track, "Lest I Forget", "It’s somewhat of a sobering song but a song of gratefulness that simply treasures what Jesus has done for us." If I Had One Chance To Tell You Something is described as "commercial alternative rock". It is much edgier and rock-based than St. James' prior album, Worship God. The songs are based in guitars, bass lines, and string arrangements. St. James also dabbles in hip-hop on the track "Thank You". The
