“I’ve always loved Tejano music,” she shared. “During my time away from music, I wanted to incorporate worship. A lot of people think it’s boring—but God is the creator of all music. So, He created Tejano too. I just incorporated what I love with praising God.”

That mission has found its way into her live performances as well. Sarah Monique explained how her concerts have transformed into uplifting experiences that go beyond entertainment.

“Every opportunity I’ve had in my last shows, we’ve thrown in a worship song, given thanks and glory, and prayed on stage. I’m really blessed that I’m able to do that.”

The title track “Ven”, now the second single from the EP, is a deeply personal story woven from Monique’s own life as well as heartfelt experiences shared by her fans, family, and friends.

Rescátame is for anyone who’s ever felt hopeless,” she revealed. “During my transition, there was a lot of crushing—surrendering things, feeling pain. I cried out to God, ‘I need you to help me because I can’t do this by myself.’ That’s what the song is about.”
