a big breakup happened and it blew up in my
face and it was so heartbreaking, and I knew, like, well,
this whole album is gonna be about it. And then
(03:38):
this song was me helping that family member like move
on and try to get them into a different level
of their life. And then the single after this is
called Shimmer, and that's where we start to love ourselves
from scratch and it's like a confident upbe banger that's
like I don't sweat a shimmer like I thought that I.

writing songs about how the comments were getting nastier and

nastier and affecting my mental health. And I started with
still don't care, thanks for playing guys so much, and
then the album like went in that direction and then
everyone just loves getting Girl and my team and my
label and my family and so I wanted the tour
to feel like the feeling when I play Getting Girl.

night to escape and to have fun and dance about
(05:17):
