A lot of my songs do relate to me, and the lyrics come from a place within myself and things that I've experienced, but I can always put myself in other people's shoes that are older than me.

When COVID came along I honed in on my skills.

I like a lot of different genres, I love to listen to rap, straight pop, some alternative stuff and EDM.

I was so wrapped up in the whole R&B, soul-pop world, that was all I listened to when I first started writing music.

I think when you set goals, you get disappointed. Things that seem in reach can become unrealistic so quickly and that only causes disappointment in itself.

I write for women because it's the only way I can use what I've experienced. It's good that people like what I write, but I don't want to go down the feminist path.

When you're an experienced celeb - which I am - you sometimes just need a bit of space, when you're not 'on'. I'm always on!

I think that's what makes my music different from other artists in my lane is that I write every word that's on my album, and every word comes from a real experience or a real feeling that I've either experienced or felt. And I'm very particular about that, and I take a lot of pride in it, so you know if I say something on a song, I mean it.

Everything I have experienced in my life helps form who I am today, and I would not change or forget any of it.
