Washed

"Washed" was announced through "a steady drumroll of teasers" on Instagram Reels several days prior to its official release. The track was first released to digital download and streaming formats on September 19, 2025, via Elevation Worship Records. It was published by Elevation Worship Publishing, Original Wong Publishing, and Bell Music Publishing. With the release, the song was supported with the release of an official live music video, which was uploaded to YouTube. The song began impacting Christian radio in the United States by January 2026, although it was not until April 9, 2026, that the track was officially released to that format. In promotion of the song's release, Holiday publicly stated the meaning behind the song, saying:

The message of being made clean through the cross collides with these bright, guitar-pop sonics that feel fun, free, and full of life. It's worshipful, but it also makes you want to move... our hope is that people carry it like an anthem, something they don't just sing, but believe and celebrate in their everyday lives.

Air1's Scott Savage observed that the song contains "energetic personality and positive vibes". He also noted that "the most common word used is 'hallelujah' ", emphasizing the song's theme of praise. Writing for the same publication, Lindsay Williams described it as a "bouncy singalong". Jessie Clarks of The Christian Beat described the track as a "joyful, high-energy anthem". Niagara Frontier noted that the track "celebrates redemption and freedom", "inviting listeners" to do the same. "Washed" is led by Nate Diaz.
