"Prayed for You" is a song recorded by American country music singer Matt Stell. It is his debut single and appears on his debut extended play Everywhere but On. Stell co-wrote the song with Ash Bowers, with whom he co-produced it, and Allison Veltz.
Stell wrote the song with Allison Veltz and Ash Bowers. According to Stell, Veltz presented him with the lyric "But I prayed for you" when the two were waiting for Bowers to arrive at a writing session. He told the site PopCulture.com that "and kind of infused it with our own relationship experiences, and not only relationships; the song is about a relationship, but it's also about persevering, in anything, whether it's school, work, family, just hanging in there long enough to allow good things to happen." The song appears on Stell's debut EP, Everywhere but On.
