NASHVILLE, TN (February 17, 2026) - Freedom Heart has released her new single, “Love Me Differently,” to Christian radio, delivering a deeply personal and hope-filled song that speaks to listeners navigating identity, emotional wounds, and the search for real love. Written by Lin Yi L Chen and Zelda Nera and produced by Nate Yake, the track blends Christian AC and Christian CHR sensibilities with raw transparency and melodic warmth.

Freedom Heart is the artist name of singer-songwriter Lynn Chen, whose music consistently champions truth, freedom, and emotional honesty. Known for her vulnerability and relatability, she writes from lived experience, creating songs that shine light into dark places while offering comfort to those struggling with mental health, self-worth, and belonging. Her growing impact includes more than 400,000 YouTube views, a Top 10 placement on the Christian Radio Chart, and recent chart success with her single “Plans,” which debuted at number one in February 2025 and also reached number one on ReverbNation’s Christian and Gospel charts in Los Angeles.

“Love Me Differently” explores the contrast between shallow, transactional love and the life-changing love found in God. The song opens with the ache of guardedness and emotional survival, capturing the weight of relationships that never felt safe or lasting. Lines about hiding behind lock and key and never being fully seen give voice to a familiar struggle for many listeners. As the song unfolds, it moves toward restoration, trust, and healing, reflecting the moment when conditional affection is replaced by a love that is intentional, faithful, and transformative.

The chorus centers on that awakening, asking how it was possible to miss a love so different from imitation and performance. The realization comes not through striving, but through being touched, known, and awakened. In the second verse and bridge, the song leans into growth and resolve, describing a heart once hardened now being reshaped, and a life marked by discernment and devotion rather than fear. Being fully seen and fully known becomes the foundation for choosing a love that truly restores.

With “Love Me Differently,” Freedom Heart offers a song that feels both intimate and universal, reminding listeners that God’s love does not resemble what the world often offers. It heals, it reveals, and it frees. This single continues her mission to create music that brings light into darkness and invites people out of the prisons of their own minds and circumstances, one honest song at a time.
