2009年10月2日，克裏斯·梅迪納與未婚妻胡莉亞納訂婚後兩年，胡莉亞納因為車禍事故，腦部受到重創，康復後智力只有2歲，只能坐上輪椅度日，生活完全不能夠自理。但克裏斯·梅迪納義無反顧，肩挑起了照顧患病未婚妻的重任。
後來Chris參加了美國偶像，為的就是賺到更多的錢讓未婚妻受到更好的治療過上更好的生活。雖然最後還是止步於全國24強，但<What are words> 這首充滿愛的歌已經牢牢地印在人們的心裏。

What are words（妳的話到底算什麽），歌曲原唱：Chris Medina，填詞：Rodney Jerkins
歌詞：
Anywhere you are, I am near
不管妳在哪，我都會與妳同在
Anywhere you go, I'll be there
不管妳去哪，我都將與妳同行
Anytime you whisper my name, you'll see
只要輕喚我的名，妳就會看到
Where every single promise I keep
我是如何信守對妳的每個承諾
Cause what kind of guy would I be
因為若我在妳最需要時離開
If I was to leave when you need me most
那樣我還算什麽男人
What are words
何為承諾
If you really don't mean them
如果只是隨口說說
When you say them
那不算承諾
What are words
何為承諾
If they're only for good times
如果不能患難與***
Then they done
那不算承諾
When it's love
當愛至情濃處時
Yeah, you say them out-loud those words
妳大聲喊出自己的心聲
They never go away
那些話，永遠都不會褪色
They live on, even when we're gone
即使海枯石爛，它們也會壹直存在
And I know an angel was sent just for me
我知道，妳是上蒼贈予我的天使
And I know I'm meant to be where I am
我知道，這是命運的安排
And I'm gonna be standing right beside her tonight
今晚我會守在妳身旁
And I'm gonna be by your side
我會壹直守護在妳身邊
I would never leave when she needs me most
當妳最需要我的時候，我絕不會離妳而去
What are words
何為承諾
If you really don't mean them

何為承諾
If they're only for good times
