Release
To promote Beauty from Pain, the band released "Stand in the Rain" as their first single. It was released as a radio single that year, and stayed at number 1 on R&R's Christian CHR chart for 13 consecutive weeks beginning in October 2006.[1] It was the 18th most played song on United States CHR radio stations in 2007.[2] The instrumental was used in the trailer for Season 5 part 2 of MTV's The Hills. "Stand in the Rain" is a downloadable song for the video game Rock Band 2. The song was included on WOW Hits 2008.
The second single, "We Live", features the vocals of Tricia Brock, Melissa Brock and Matt Dally. The song was on the Billboard Christian Songs chart for 20 weeks, peaking at No. 6.[3] Unlike other Superchick songs, which contain an alternative-based pop/rock, "We Live" has a hip hop sound. The song was used in the TV show Brothers and Sisters and in the compilation WOW Hits 2007. The music video for the single "We Live" was released on October 10, 2008.[4] The video features the band performing the song in brick room. Throughout the video, it shows a man looking through an x-ray, multiple people taking photos, and a soldier returning to his wife.
