• I think we’re in a great place… If you like the rappy singers, that’s out there in abundance. If you like singers who sound like Whitney Houston’s children, those are out there as well

• Sometimes it takes years for people to recognize it, but if it’s important to you and you feel like it’s the thing that you should be doing, you keep going. And I feel like that’s a lot of people’s stories, especially today. I’m seeing so many ‘underdogs,’ as people call them, [finally] get their just do.

• I love that the heroine in this song is in full control of her life. We usually hear men talk about the plethora of women they have to choose from but rarely can women speak like that. We’re told it’s a woman’s place to be meek, sexual, but only for the male gaze, and happy to be chosen

• Honestly, I thought that it would be a chance for me to grow. I didn’t actually want to at first because I am very private and everybody knows by now that I do only like to talk about myself and my story through my music. But I thought this would be an opportunity for me to do some self-reflection and to grow, and that’s what it ended up being for me.
