“I Know Who I Am” is more than just a song for Contee. It is a personal declaration rooted in faith and identity. She described the single as a reminder for listeners to stand firm in who God says they are, no matter what challenges or pressures they face.

“For me, it’s about standing firm on who God says that I am in every area of my life,” Contee shared. “In order to do that, I first have to know who He is for myself. That clarity about God helps me stay clear on who I am in Christ.”

The song carries a message of confidence, faith and spiritual grounding. At a time when identity is a major topic in today’s culture, Contee believes faith plays a key role in helping people stay centered.

“Once you trust where your identity comes from, it’s really hard to be shaken,” she explained. “Faith becomes that anchor that keeps you from being moved by trends, opinions or pressures that come with life.”

Before stepping into the spotlight as a solo artist, Contee spent years lending her voice to other gospel artists, including Jonathan Nelson and J.J. Hairston. Her background as a featured vocalist helped shape her sound and prepare her for this next chapter, but she admits releasing her own music required a leap of faith.

“I just knew it was time,” she said. “So many people had been encouraging me, telling me to step out and use the gift God gave me. I finally decided to trust God, step out on faith and go for it.”
