Amy Grant Announces New Album ‘The Me That Remains’

Six-time GRAMMY® Award winner and 2022 Kennedy Center Honoree Amy Grant has announced her new album The Me That Remains, arriving May 8 via Thirty Tigers. Produced by ten-time CMA Award winner and Nashville Songwriters Hall of Famer Mac McAnally, the project marks Grant’s first collection of all-original songs in 13 years.

Leaning fully into her strengths as a songwriter, The Me That Remains finds Grant taking a clear-eyed look at where she stands personally, spiritually, and creatively today. Across its ten tracks, the album reflects on healing, connection, endurance, and grace, shaped by the life experience of a beloved musician now more than 50 years into a groundbreaking career.

First previewed last month with “The 6th of January (Yasgur’s Farm),” a meditation on unity and perspective inspired by the idealism of the Woodstock era, the album signals a more stripped-down, singer-songwriter approach that defines the project as a whole.

Throughout the album, McAnally’s understated production allows Grant’s voice – warm and resolute – to take centre stage. Songs like “How Do We Get There From Here” (feat. Ruby Amanfu) wrestle with collective healing; “The Saint,” co-written with longtime collaborator Michael W. Smith, offers a portrait of redemption; while collaborations with Vince Gill, Sarah Cannon, and Corrina Gill reflect the personal and musical relationships that have shaped her life.

With the announcement, Grant has announced an album release show at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville on May 8. Tickets go on sale February 27. Please visit Amy Grant for more information.

Also today, Grant has released the title track, “The Me That Remains,” which serves as the album’s emotional centrepiece. Co-written with McAnally, the single reflects directly on the profound health challenges Grant has faced in recent years, including open heart surgery and a life-altering bike accident that resulted in a traumatic brain injury (“Life cut me wide open / When my head hit the ground / Wasn’t my time for dying / Guess my soul just stuck around”). Ultimately, the song is an uplifting testament to survival, resilience and gratitude (“My smile in the mirror is enough for today / Reflecting the light deep down inside that never will fade”).

The official music video, filmed on Grant’s Tennessee Farm, is also out now.

Visually, The Me That Remains album artwork reflects the album’s themes of memory and reconstruction. Grant commissioned artist Wayne Brezinka to create the cover as a mixed-media collage assembled from meaningful fragments of her life – including pieces of a quilt she has long treasured, seashells from her collection, her childhood Bible, and an article about her grandfather – layering her history directly into the portrait.

“The older I get, the more aware I am that we all live long enough to see versions of ourselves pass away,” Grant shares. “Given time to process decades of a life – one that was both exciting and difficult – I’ve needed to remember and release the younger Amy Grant. There are fewer bells and whistles around this deeper work now, but life’s discoveries and mysteries are even more compelling to me. I’m thankful for each day and curious to find connection and purpose, and how the Love that made us all will emerge and express itself in and through me today.”

Now 65, Grant remains a singular figure in American music. She has garnered over 2.2 billion global streams, sold more than 30 million albums, and became the first artist in Contemporary Christian Music to achieve a platinum record, reach No. 1 on the pop charts, and perform at the GRAMMY Awards. A trailblazer whose career has spanned church pews to arena stages, she returns with a record rooted in hard-won perspective, and in the strength of the woman who remains.
