West later said that "You Are Everything" took on "a new meaning" for him after the surgery: "Before we can have 'something to say' to the world, our hearts and our priorities must first be realigned to rely completely on Jesus, and our confidence in Him and His strength. Sometimes it takes being faced with losing something to allow God to truly become your Everything. I see it now." [5]
"You Are Everything" was recorded in studio as soon as West has recovered vocally. He said that he was "really scared of singing on [the] new record", but realized that after the incident his voice seemed "cleaner and stronger" with higher notes than it previously had been. [4]
