James commented, "I'm thrilled to be putting this song out into the world as the first of a new era in my artistry. This is truly the most exciting time I've experienced in my career and personal growth thus far. That being said, there's so much to come in terms of visuals, sounds, stories, and an overall heightened sense of creativity for me. "I Give Everything" is a song I wrote early on in my relationship about falling in love for the first time. I was completely immersed and infatuated with the intensity of the feelings I was experiencing, but I was also fearful of losing myself in the process somehow. The lyrics embody that push-pull between the simultaneous acceptance of and resistance to pure passion."
