DULUTH, Minn. -- Presence Music has released "Fight or Flight," an emotionally honest Christian pop single that gives voice to anxiety, exhaustion and the pressure to hold everything together when life becomes too much.

Written by Leah Monson and produced by Tyler Moody, "Fight or Flight" captures the tension of living in survival mode -- the sleepless nights, racing thoughts, physical fatigue and quiet fear that can come when people keep showing up for everyone else while feeling depleted themselves.

The song was born from a breaking point in Monson's life while traveling, raising two young children, supporting a working husband and continuing to carry the weight of everyday responsibilities. Rather than turn that moment into a polished prayer, she chose to tell the truth.

"Honestly? I was just done. I'm on the road, my husband's working, we've got two little ones, and I'm trying to hold everything together and still show up. One night I just broke. Instead of a nice, pretty prayer, it was just, "God, I am not fine." I think a lot of moms are living that and nobody's saying it out loud. So I did," says Leah Monson of Presence Music.

Instead of rushing toward an easy resolution, "Fight or Flight" lingers in the honesty of the moment. The song makes room for listeners to admit where they truly are without shame or spiritual pretense, reminding them that God is near even before everything feels resolved.

With its vulnerable storytelling and pop-driven Christian sound, the single continues Presence Music's commitment to creating songs that meet listeners in real life - not only in moments of celebration, but also in the places where faith sounds like surrender, trust and the courage to say, "I'm not fine."

"Fight or Flight" arrives during a season of continued momentum for Presence Music. Recent releases have earned playlist support across Apple Music, K-LOVE, Air1, Spotify and GMA Dove platforms, while the band continues to expand its national and international radio footprint, touring presence and media visibility.

Presence Music's recent momentum also includes Christian Music Weekly activity for "Pick Up That Book," previous CMW Christmas chart recognition for "Who Knew (Gift-Wrapped)" featuring Blake Whiteley, and ongoing visibility through live events, media appearances and direct support slots with national Christian artists.

Led by husband-and-wife duo Brandon and Leah Monson, Presence Music continues to build its ministry through vulnerable songs, high-energy live moments and a grassroots touring approach that brings hope to churches, festivals and community events across the country.

"Fight or Flight" is available now.
