She has made her first move after the show let her go.

Emmy Russell, the granddaughter of country music legend Loretta Lynn, competes on "American Idol " on Monday, April 8, 2024, on ABC.“I wrote ‘Redemption’ because I process life through music and this song is what came out of a painful breakup,” she reportedly said. “There was a time when I placed all my value in someone else’s hands. But eventually, I had to realize I was constantly being tossed between ‘I love you’ and ‘I don’t love you.

Russell’s evolution — how she overcame her nerves to perform — was a key storyline during this season of “Idol.” It appears this song is a continuation of that process.Country music star credited with helping save Colt Ford’s life makes major life announcementEx-Steelers quarterback looks on as girlfriend steals the show at Academy of Country Music Awards

“This song represents my decision to no longer be the person you come back to when it’s convenient,” she said. “In my telling him, ‘It’s over,’ I found my redemption in being alone and admitting to myself, ‘I don’t deserve this,’ which led me to a door I’d been craving to open … I finally realized my worth by looking to God, then letting the truth that ‘I am loved,’ sink in. Now I know, no guy, nor anyone else, can take that away from me. I am loved and now, that’s my redemption.
