“Me + You” – by S Rayne Z & Kolbe is a raw and emotionally charged punk rock anthem that explores the transformative power of faith.
With hard-hitting guitars and unapologetic energy, the song delivers a message of gratitude and dependence, acknowledging that without God, the singer would be nothing.
The song is a raw expression of feeling lost, but also finding strength in knowing that I’m never truly alone. It’s about reaching out, surrendering, and realizing that, no matter what, God is the foundation I stand on. “Me + U” is my way of acknowledging that without Him, I would be nothing, and with Him, everything feels possible.
“Me + You”, the latest collaboration between S Rayne Z (Sonora) and Kolbe, is one of those tracks. A high-energy blend of punk rock, emo, and alternative rock, it’s the kind of song you’d expect to hear blasting over the end credits of a skater film or maybe even a reimagined High School Musical—but with a message that cuts deeper than your average feel-good anthem. The story of Me + You started when Sonora hit up Kolbe with an idea. She had a beat, a concept, a verse, and a vision, and when she sent it over, Kolbe was instantly hooked. “I heard punk rock, and I got super excited,” Kolbe recalls. “Punk rock is actually one of his favorite genres. But this was different—doing a project with someone else gave them the freedom to step into that world in a way that made sense.” Once Sonora sent over her part, everything clicked into place. Her energy was electric, and Kolbe knew he had to match it. He recorded his vocals at home, layering his raw, impassioned delivery over the already dynamic instrumental. After passing it off to the engineer for mixing and mastering, the final product came together exactly as they had envisioned—an explosive track with a meaningful core. The song itself is about life alongside Christ—how living in relationship with Him makes life more full, exciting, and expressive. It touches on the way we can sometimes get carried away doing life on our own, forgetting that we were never meant to walk this road solo. S Rayne Z’s verse came from a personal place of struggle and realization. As she faced tough times and moments of doubt , she came to understand how much she needed God at the end of every day. To S Rayne Z the song is about surrendering and realizing that no matter what , God is the foundation that she stands on. Kolbe’s verse brings a sense of urgency, diving into the idea of Christ’s second coming and the importance of staying ready, of not just waiting for Him to return but actively living in alignment with His presence now. Kolbe and Sonora’s connection goes back to late summer 2024, when they both happened to be at a Sam Llanes concert in Florida. A casual glance through the crowd turned into a moment of recognition—they had seen each other before, not in person, but through Instagram. From there, a quick conversation led to exchanging contact information, and, eventually, to “Me + You”. With its fast-paced, anthemic energy and deep-rooted message, Me + You is more than just a punk rock banger—it’s a reminder that faith isn’t just about waiting for something to happen. It’s about living fully, right now, with Christ at the center.
