Christian <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/music" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recording artist</a> Lauren Daigle recently revealed her mental health struggle as she debuts her new album, “Thank God I Do.”
The Grammy Award-winning <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">artist</a> shot to popularity with the hit single “You Say” in 2018. The song helped her album “Look Up Child” debut at number three on the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Billboard 200 chart</a>, making it the highest-charting Christian album by a woman in more than 20 years.
Daigle recently spoke to <a href="https://people.com/music/lauren-daigle-mental-health-rock-bottom-inspired-self-titled-album/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">People</a> about what’s been going on with her since her rise to crossover stardom. &#8220;When I was 16 I had this vision of that tour, and I could see the crowds, the lights — everything. Then it all dismantled,&#8221; the 31-year-old singer told the outlet. 
She said the COVID pandemic contributed to her state of mind. &#8220;You combine the disappointment with grief and loss and the state of the world &#8230; I felt like I didn&#8217;t know myself anymore. I started developing panic attacks,&#8221; Daigle went on. &#8220;I found myself at a rock bottom.&#8221;
The artist announced earlier this year that she was partnering with mainstream label Atlantic Records and that her latest LP would include more secular songs. The self-titled album was released on May 12.
&#8220;I&#8217;d just be writing songs or coming up with different melodies and lyrics, and I remember thinking, &#8216;This is different than what people have known of me in the past, but not different from myself,'&#8221; Daigle told People.
&#8220;For all the fans that have been with me in my journey from the very, very, very beginning, this is no different than a &#8216;You Say&#8217; moment for me. These are other little pieces of me that you&#8217;re now going to get to learn of as well.&#8221;
Daigle said, “Each song fell in a box of soul and spirit.&#8221;

&#8220;There&#8217;s this Bible verse that says, &#8216;The word of God is alive and active, sharper than any two-edged sword. It can cut through bone and marrow, soul and spirit.&#8217; And I&#8217;m like, &#8216;The soul and spirit, they&#8217;re so intertwined,'&#8221; the singer said. 
&#8220;Once this started to happen [as I was writing], I was like, &#8216;That would be a song that I would write from the soul for the soul, and this is a song that I&#8217;d write from the Spirit for the spirit; these songs of heartache and longing and difficulty and joy and newness and all that, they&#8217;re coming from this soul lane, but there&#8217;s these other God songs that are also me as well.&#8221;
She called her new album a “rebirth process.&#8221; 
&#8220;My whole world fell apart, and I had to learn how to find myself again,&#8221; Daigle said.
