Many shows in Foreverlin's past have seen the band incorporating worship songs into their sets and playing Sunday morning church services. Wanting to show this side of the band, they recorded a 5-song EP entitled You Remain. This EP included four cover songs and one original. The title track, You Remain, charted at No. 29 in the spring of 2017. Anthony Riedl (bass, vocals) left the band right before recording started, but still was able to record the bass tracks. After he left, Foreverlin invited Nathan Thiessen to tour with them as their bassist. Nathan Thiessen is an accomplished violinist from Iowa who played violin on both the Long Lost and Still After albums (Alaska, Broken Lines, Josephine), but also plays other instruments, including bass.

During 2017, Foreverlin also spent more time on the road touring - traveling mostly in the Western side of the United States. They also spent time during the summer leading worship at youth Bible camps.
