Extended data:
Footprints on the Beach is a song adapted from the Christian poem Footprints. At first, Cowell came up with the idea of writing a song based on this poem. Then he asked the composition and production teams David Kruger and Pell magnusson if they could write something to finish the song.
They held a song writing meeting at Richard Page Marbury's home, and successfully finished the single the next day. In an interview with HitQuarters, magnusson said that they thought this song was more suitable for Westlife, but in the end it was given to Luis.
When Cowell mentioned the idea of this song to Lewis, she said it was "quite interesting". In order to complete this song, Cowell also managed to contact a production team. When talking about this song, Lewis described it as "very touching and the lyrics are very inspiring".
The theme of this song is "Help others when they need help". In order to promote this single, Lewis sang it in ice dancing on March 9th, 2008. Torvill and Dean performed a special ice dance with the beautiful melody of this song.
