Background
In September 2021, Tribl Records announced that they will be releasing Not Just Stories, the debut extended play by Maryanne J. George, on October 8, 2021. The EP featured collaborations with fellow Maverick City Music artists Dante Bowe, Naomi Raine, and Aaron Moses, with additional features from Mitch Wong and Justus Tams.

Maryanne J. George spoke of the album in an interview, saying: "I've said before that this album feels very grounding to me. It captures my heart's cry for the last 11 years, when Mav City didn't exist, and the most important thing to me was serving in my local Indian church as best as I could. I really took that responsibility seriously. God was doing things in me then, cultivating in me a heart of devotion and a spirit of longing. I think this whole album attests to those years. It's focused on surrender, devotion, and sacrifice: tenants [sic] of worship. My prayer is that this album brings us back to the heart of worship."
