Songs That Saved My Life Volume 2

Following the success of the first Songs That Saved My Life, Hopeless Records and Sub City, who released the album, announced a second volume was in the works and confirmed its release later that year. The album was released on November 8, 2019, approximately one year after the first volume. Like its predecessor, the album features bands covering songs that helped them through a difficult time in their lives, in the hopes that these versions would help those who also struggle find a voice and speak out. A portion of the proceeds went to many charities that focus around suicide and mental health. In support of the album, a single was released with State Champs covering "Real World", by Matchbox Twenty.
