Punk artist Grace Graber has released the Everything You Ever Wanted EP as the culmination of a year of burnout, healing challenges and, ultimately, growth.

The EP is named for the Hawk Nelson cover Grace Graber recently released with Audiophile. More importantly, it’s a question she was asked by someone in the industry that ultimately hit the songstress much deeper than a title-based pun.

“This wasn’t everything I wanted because I was still doing things in my own strength,” Grace confesses. “For example, ‘Better Now.’ I wanted to be in a better place when I released that song. I was singing about how Jesus freed me from anxiety and depression, and at that time I was thinking, ‘I went back on antidepressants for like a week.’ I was like, ‘What is going on, Lord?’”

“Pressure” captures those feelings well.

“Pressure’ is my crash-out song when I was going through my burnout phase at the beginning of this year,” she says in retrospect. “‘Pressure’ is my past. The feeling that there’s not a whole lot of help. Like, the pressure that I’m under has taken the fun out of this, and I’m done with that. I see the Lord in the simple things: in my marriage. In my alone time.”

Similarly, with “Run,” Grace Graber could feel both the song’s real aspiration and the gap between knowing its truth intellectually and fully living its reality. As an independent artist with an incredibly prolific output and commitment to growth, 2025 was the year Grace finally began to feel herself flagging, burning out. She knew she had to run back to God and let Him carry her forward.

She explains, “So when I was asked, ‘Is this everything you ever wanted?’ I was like, ‘No, not really. I’m in pain. I’m tired. But I feel this call to do this so deeply.’ When I finally sat down, and it was just me and God, we had some talking to do. I ended up realizing: I need this. This is my lifeline, to be with the Lord.”

That lifeline has ended Grace Graber at the end of this year as an increasingly established artist in a place of tremendous growth. Releasing the EP is also a way of releasing months of struggle and tension that were ultimately essential for deeper healing.

“I can look back on that season and confidently say that God did not waste pain. He did not waste my heart. He restored my hope in Christian music and myself. And I’m still healing from that season, but this is part of the healing process,” Grace Graber concludes.

Everything You Ever Wanted is streaming now, produced by Brandon Moser, Blake Cross and Jackson Scott.
