And in order to live out the most fulfilling story, there’s nothing more essential than to know our true identity.

Every created thing has a creator. This song is a three-minute reminder of what our Creator says about us and an invitation to walk in our truest God-given identity.”

It was a bit stressful, but I kept an open mind and trusted that everything would work out.’

“We decided to shoot at the top of a mountain where a famous Goddess temple is located,” she continues. “I wasn’t sure what we were going to do or wear, but I had a good feeling about the location. When I visited the temple, the priest recognized me from Instagram and said that he follows me and appreciates my posts. It was such a great sign!’

“We had to reschedule a few more times due to illness, and I was starting to lose hope. But then, something amazing happened! The date of the shoot coincided with one of the great festivals in India to the Goddess, and we were able to film at a famous Goddess temple. It was truly magical!”

Speaking about the inspiration behind the song, Medlye said; It was in the place of deep thoughts about the ongoing mental health challenges growing vastly all over the globe, how people no longer believe in cooperative help (Love) but self-preservation which has led to suicide.

Knocking is a way of talking into the soul itself that pure LOVE still exists and it’s the only answer.

Medlye is also a songwriter, fashion designer, life coach, certified public speaker, and promotional model. She is the President of Medlye Ministry A youth movement with the mandate to rebuild the broken bridge between childhood and adulthood, educating the youths on the morals and values of our faith and how to apply them in their day-to-day living through the mountains of EDUCATION, MEDIA, ART & ENTERTAINMENT.

“Knocking” is a reminder that Christ’s love for the salvation of every living being from all kinds of death is still effective and true today and for eternity.

Hades is never home. Freedom has come.
