Written by Mac Powell and composed by Third Day, "Born Again" was released as the third and final single from Third Day's 2008 album Revelation. Musically, the song is a ballad featuring influences from the genres of folk music and pop music, while the song is lyrically a "study in self-examination and celebration of a life redeemed".

"Born Again" met with positive critical reception, with many critics praising Mosley's vocals. It was nominated for two Grammy Awards at the 52nd Grammy Awards: the Grammy Award for Best Gospel Song and the Grammy Award for Best Gospel Performance. It was the third No. 1 single from Revelation and twenty-seventh overall for Third Day, peaking atop the Billboard Christian AC Monitored chart; it also peaked at No. 3 on the Hot Christian Songs chart, No. 4 on the Hot Christian AC chart, No. 10 on the Christian CHR chart, and No. 41 on the Heatseekers Songs chart. Billboard also ranked "Born Again" on their 2009 year-end Hot Christian Songs, Hot Christian AC, and Christian CHR charts.

The lyrics to the first verse of "Born Again" were written while Third Day's lead singer, Mac Powell, was folding laundry. Powell recalled that "I was doing some chores at home. I was sitting down on the floor folding laundry and I had that song in my head. All of a sudden it just came out--a full first verse literally. It wasn’t like I said a line and worked out a few other lines, it literally just came out. I just spoke it and sang it and it scared me because that never happens". Powell said he then "got up and I was running around the house, throwing stuff everywhere looking for a pen and a piece of paper".
