They also appeared on the Grammys singing a collaboration with Annie Lennox, at the American Music Awards, and performed at the Glastonbury Festival in Somerset, England.

In 2017, Lampa posted that she was working on new music. She released a cover of the hymn, "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus" late in the year; it was available on all major streaming platforms and she filmed a video for the track. In 2019, she released "Side of my Heart".

In 2022, she released "Perfectly Loved", featuring TobyMac. The single reached a peak position of 3 on the Billboard Hot Christian Songs chart.

Personal life

Lampa graduated from Monarch High School in May 2003. While in high school, she was a starting point guard for the girls basketball team. She married Brendan McCarthy on March 27, 2010.

Lampa and singer, Stacie Orrico, are close friends. Lampa resides in Nashville. She has been recording music and touring off and on, both as the headlining artist and the support performer. She said that the periods of silence were for personal searching, for identity checks, and to maintain a true and authentic Christian faith. "There have been some trying moments, but I knew eventually I needed to stop distracting myself and really lean into it." After almost two years on the road with Hozier, Lampa returned home and announced that she was expecting her first son, Jackson, who was born on September 18, 2016. Six years later on October 19, 2022, Lampa had her second child and son, Leo Kai.
