„You Raise Me Up” (Tu mă înalți) a fost compusă de către formația irlandezo-norvegiană Secret Garden formată din violonista și vocalista Fionnuala Sherry și compozitorul pianist Rolf Løvland. Această formație a câștigat în 1995 concursul internațional Eurovision cu piesa „Nocturne”.

Cântecul „You Raise Me Up” a fost scris inițial în 2000 doar ca o piesă instrumentală intitulată „Silent Story” despre a cărei linie melodică Rolf Løvland a afirmat că dorea să transmită că există ” o poveste care așteaptă să fie spusă”.

Melodia l-a preocupat atât de mult pe Løvland încât toți colaboratorii săi au lucrat o săptămână întreagă „până la epuizare” pentru a găsi demo-ul instrumental potrivit. Un rol cheie l-a avut violonista Fionnuala Sherry care a introdus linii melodice specifice irlandeze și care a insistat asupra faptului că melodia trebuia să apară „neapărat” în următorul lor album.

După definitivarea piesei, formația specializată în muzică instrumentală a simțit totuși că „această melodie a fost menită să fie cântată”.  În acest scop, Løvland s-a apropiat de nuvelistul Brendan Graham ale cărui opere i-au atras atenția pianistului; ascultând melodia, nuvelistul irlandez a acceptat să scrie versurile și a făcut-o printr-o lirică perfectă, oferindu-i titlul final de „You Raise Me Up” (Tu mă înalți).
