David Archuleta's "Hell Together" shares his family's post-Mormon journey

Catch up quick: Archuleta's mother Lupe resigned from the church last year after deciding, "I did not teach my children their whole lives to serve and love a God who is not accepting of them," she wrote in an essay for Q Salt Lake.

What they're saying: "You said, 'If I have to live without you, I don't want to live forever in someone else's heaven. So let 'em close the gates,'" Archuleta sings in the video clip showing photos of him and his mother together.

• "'If they don't like the way you're made, then they're not any better,'" the lyrics continue. "'If paradise is pressure, oh we'll go to hell together.'"
• The stanza refers to Mormon teachings that families must remain in the faith to reunite in the afterlife.
