“Stressing” was inspired by a season of real-life pressure where everything seemed to hit at once. The song was written during moments of mental exhaustion — late nights, heavy thoughts, and the silent weight of responsibility that comes with chasing purpose while trying to provide, grow, and stay grounded in faith. Instead of writing from imagination, Damien Hyman wrote Stressing directly from lived experience. The writing process became a release. Each lyric came from personal conversations with God, self-reflection, and the emotional tension of feeling pulled in multiple directions at the same time. Financial challenges, personal expectations, spiritual growth, and the demand to remain strong for family all collided, creating the emotional landscape that shaped the song. Rather than suppressing those feelings, Stressing was written as a way to process them — turning pressure into honesty and pain into perspective. The song speaks for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed yet determined to keep going. It’s not just about stress; it’s about resilience, faith, and choosing progress even when the load feels heavy. At its core, Stressing is a reminder that vulnerability can be strength, and that even in moments of pressure, purpose is still being formed.
