Overview
Maddie Zahm’s upcoming album, Everything All the Time, is a deeply personal exploration of self-discovery, emotional openness, and continual growth. Inspired by the compassion and emotional honesty of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, Zahm aims to create music that welcomes listeners and validates deep feelings rather than suppressing them.
After years of writing about struggles with body image, faith, sexuality, and identity, Zahm has entered a more accepting phase of life. Instead of searching for definitive answers or trying to fit into expectations—whether from the pop industry, Christian music, or her Idaho upbringing—she embraces personal evolution as an ongoing process. Her move to Los Angeles played a major role in this transformation, helping her come out as queer and redefine herself both personally and artistically.
The album’s songs reflect different aspects of that journey. The title track explores the burden and beauty of feeling everything deeply. “Meryl” humorously celebrates Zahm’s crush on actress Meryl Streep while showcasing her newfound confidence and willingness to explore her identity. “Hometown Letdown” addresses criticism from people in her Idaho hometown, turning judgment into an empowering anthem about moving beyond others’ expectations. “Drunk Cigarette” highlights her vulnerability and acceptance of imperfection.
Produced by Ehren Ebbage and featuring collaborations with Adam Yaron, the album rejects the idea that growth is a neat, finished journey. Instead, Zahm presents emotional sensitivity as a strength and encourages listeners to continue evolving with curiosity, compassion, and authenticity.
The album also follows significant career success. Zahm has accumulated over 345 million streams, earned billions of TikTok views for “Fat Funny Friend,” sold out tours, shared stages with P!nk, and received recognition from major media outlets. Through it all, she has built a devoted audience drawn to her honesty, humor, and willingness to embrace change.
