While speaking to Cosmopolitan, she gushed over how the rapper has only enriched her life.
"All musical inspiration really just comes from life experiences,” the recording artist explained. “Love has been a really big one for me too, because that’s something I’m experiencing for the first time, and it’s, like, ‘whoa’ in your brain. It’s just fireworks, a spark for creativity.”
“You know, you have puppy love experiences, you think that’s love. But this is my first deep, deep, real love," she added. “This has been a really beautiful transformative time for me. I have all this new material to write about. It’s like, 'What the heck did I just experience and go through?' A whirlwind of amazingness. You never know what you’re capable of until you’re put through it. I was very creatively inspired, and then from there, I fell in love. And so I really just played with those themes in my music.”
