Mary Elle Release New Song “Religion”
Czech Republic-based American singer-songwriter Mary Elle released the first single of 2025 called “Religion” on February 7, 2025.
The song is about the difference between man-made religion and real faith that comes from connecting with God.
The lyrics reflect these expectations, pressures, and fears of the world that often sparked from religion.
The track will appear on her upcoming debut EP, which is expected to be released in 2025.
Mary Elle co-wrote the song with producer Gregory Darling, as with previous song “Dear Friend” released last December.
Mary Elle said of the song, “It's about the lies that sometimes obscure the truth. And the people who play a role in that. But I like to believe that if we hold on to faith, we'll always find our way back to the right path.”- She continued, “I started writing the words during a time I was really struggling with my faith, especially with everyone telling me what my faith should look like and how I should act. The pressure from these expectations only grew when somehow I had attracted the part of social media that continuously talked about the Rapture and how we’d all be going to hell. If you don’t know what the Rapture is, it’s a time at the end of the Bible when the world is essentially ending.”

She added, “It's important to make clear that religion and faith are two separate things. Religion is made by people, Faith is from God. Our relationship with Faith is so important, and whilst religion is intended to support this, I believe throughout history it's often done more harm than good. But that's not God, that's people. Real faith brings people together and closer to God whilst the religions and rules man has made tears it apart. And I don't want man-made religion to crush the beautiful power of my faith.”
