“This album is more about you, inside, and how you need to get yourself together, rather than pointing at somebody else and saying, ‘You don’t treat me right, you don’t do this.’ I’m truly lovin it, I listen to it myself. The last album, I didn’t really listen to until I went on tour. [Because] when you listen to your own experience, it’s like, I don’t wanna hear it anymore. I do write from my personal experiences, but I think it’s very important to young women,” Vibe quoted the singer as saying.
