In This Moment lead singer Maria Brink seems to live with an angel on one shoulder and devil on the other - a contrast between light and dark. That's the case here where she hears two conflicting voices: One that tells her she's holy, the other that screams she's worthless. These voices represent her mother and father. Her mother was very supportive and encouraging, but Brink's father was never in her life. His absence caused her lot of distress and made her question herself.
"My dad simply wasn't there. He wasn't in my life," she told Kerrang. "As a young girl I struggled with that a lot. My mother always believed in me and was always trying to lift me up. She never doubted me, regardless of the struggles she was going through herself."
"The In-Between" was the first single from In This Moment's seventh album, Mother. The song was written by Brink, her co-founder Chris Howorth, their producer Kevin Churko, and guitarist Randy Weitzel, who had become a key songwriter in the band by this point. Like many of their videos from this era, this one was co-directed by Maria Brink and Robert Kley. The band often translated their videos to their stage performances, and that was the case here, with the "blood girls" (Brink's backup dancers) there for support.
