About “WASHED”
Recorded live and released on September 19, 2025 through Elevation Worship Records, the song pairs a message about being made clean through the cross with bright guitar-pop production, with Nate Diaz on lead vocals. Producer and co-writer Joshua Holiday said the message of being made clean 'collides with these bright, guitar-pop sonics that feel fun, free, and full of life,' and has stressed that the group tests every song by asking whether it is clear and biblical.
