"Only Hope" was recorded by Mandy Moore for the film A Walk to Remember (arranged and produced by the film's composer Mervyn Warren) and is included in her compilation The Best of Mandy Moore, although left out of her 2002 release. It was slated as the second single after "Cry" which, however, was not a hit and consequently "Only Hope" was not released to radio. A music video—largely a date of the movie—was shot and was released successfully to music channels in Asia.

In the film A Walk to Remember

Jamie sings to Landon during the school play, where they fall in love. The song ends when Landon kisses Jamie. Additionally Switchfoot's original version was played towards the end of the movie when they got married in the Church, transitioning from an orchestral score piece that was influenced by the song and was specifically written to segue into it.

Other versions

In 2004, German singer Florence Joy covered the song, released on her debut album Hope. The character Go Hye Mi (miss A's Suzy) covers this song twice in the Korean drama Dream High. In 2008, Filipino rock singer Miguel Escueta recorded his version for the ABS-CBN youth oriented drama anthology Your Song Presents: My Only Hope.
