"Taking a moment to actually feel the feelings that I've gone through, it's just — I don't know — I'm just so grateful that it's out," she mentioned. "It's weird also because I wrote this song over each year ago... And it's like I feel totally different from If I wrote it."

And that's what her two new songs are all about: flipping the page to a new chapter. Although "Lose You to Love Me" is a more somber track while "Look at Her Right now is her life "exploding into all these different astonishing things," they both function equally. "All I know is these two songs were me wrapping up a chapter in a pretty little bow," she mentioned. "And the rest of the album is all about where I am right now and where I'm going. So in my suggestion, these are fantastic songs, however I've saved the ideal for later."


"I have a million ideas," she continued, "and it's just going to be cooler and it's going to be stronger and it's going to be better."
