Following the release of My Jesus in 2022, Wilson received messages indicating that fans of country music were resonating with her sound as well as the CCM market that she catered the record and its singles to. On Rebel, Wilson set out to intertwine the two musical genres, saying that "the songs that were coming from my heart were leaning more country" when she began writing for the record.[1] The album's title track was born out of Wilson's frustration with being told one of her previous single releases to CCM radio was "too country" for the format to play, which encouraged the development of the Rebel album as a confident blend of both genres.[1]
Wilson co-wrote the majority of the album's 16 tracks with Jeff Pardo and Matthew West, with additional writing credits from country songwriters including Nicolle Galyon, Emily Weisband, Trannie Anderson and Casey Beathard.[1] It features collaborations with country music artists Lainey Wilson ("Praying Woman") and Jordan Davis ("Country Gold"), as well as CCM artist Chris Tomlin ("The Cross").[1]
"Rain in the Rearview" was released as Wilson's first single to country radio on October 9, 2023,[2] while "Strong" was released as a single to CCM radio.[1] "Rain in the Rearview" was inspired by the death of Wilson's older brother in 2017, an event she credits with shifting her dream to becoming a recording artist.[3] The music video was directed by TK McKamy and premiered on January 26, 2024, and features her sister Elizabeth as her body double.[3]
"Songs About Whiskey" was originally slated to be released as the third single from the album on June 3, 2024,[4] but the adds date was pushed back to July 15.[5]
In the United States, Rebel debuted at number one on the Top Christian Albums chart and at number 10 on the Top Country Albums chart.[6]
