I can only hope for the same,” Reynolds says. But I’ve also seen his faith bring him hope in a future with her. I’ve watched my brother face something that no one should have to.

The song is a powerful and raw outpouring about grief, loss, and moving forward. “Wrecked” was mixed in Spatial Audio and is accompanied by a new lyric video – watch HERE. “Wrecked” was written by lead vocalist Dan Reynolds, Wayne Sermon, Ben McKee & Daniel Platzman and produced by Imagine Dragons.
