I grew up with all mothers, all women. I come from a long line of matriarchs, very strong women. ↗

I knew it would happen. I knew I'd be No. 1. I'm a new artist; I don't know the rules. Nobody told me it wouldn't happen. ↗

I love to leave the interpretation of my music up to the listener. It's fun to see what they'll say it is. ↗
