As Christians prepare for the solemn and celebratory season of Easter, Nigerian gospel singer Susan Peter has unveiled her latest single, “Because of Me,” a song that reflects on the depth of Christ’s sacrifice and the triumph of His resurrection.
The newly released track draws inspiration from the core message of Easter, blending solemn reflection with a tone of victory. According to the Lagos-based artist, the song was birthed from a personal revelation that goes beyond the general belief that Christ died for humanity, to a deeper understanding that His suffering was personal and intentional.
In her words, the song captures “the pain, shame, and suffering He endured,” while also highlighting the purpose behind the sacrifice — that believers may live, carry His name, and partake in His victory. The composition transitions from a reflective mood into a celebratory declaration of the resurrection, affirming themes of freedom, wholeness, and new life.
Peter described “Because of Me” as more than just a musical piece, noting that it serves as a call for listeners to reflect, express gratitude, and embrace a deeper understanding of Christ’s finished work.
Known for her soulful sound and depth in worship, Susan Peter has built a reputation as a songwriter and professional background vocalist, collaborating with notable figures in the gospel music space. Beyond her musical career, she is also engaged in creative photography, using her artistic expression to inspire and impact lives.
With this release, the singer continues to position her work at the intersection of faith, music, and storytelling, offering listeners a spiritually resonant experience during one of Christianity’s most significant seasons.
