"Mercy" was the first single from Away from the World, the Dave Matthews Band's eighth studio album, and frontman Dave Matthews wrote it. He tried it out on his own first, playing it solo on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon in April 2012, before the band's studio version arrived that July on RCA. The song has since found a second life at benefits and rallies: Matthews sang it at Hand in Hand, the 2017 benefit for hurricane relief, and again at the March for Our Lives in Seattle in 2018.
