Though the 33-year-old admitted that her own depression and anxiety was a huge influence on the new album, Symptoms, talking about it wasn’t her initial goal. She explained, “It wasn't something that was like ‘I’m gonna tackle this.’ It’s just something that naturally, organically happened. I’ve been in and out of the studio for 4 years and I knew in order for me to get back into music, it had to be important.”

She also said, “I wanted to make someone at home feel less alone in their journey. It's hard to be vulnerable. It's scary, but I think that it's important to share what I've been through, and say that I'm human and I go through those things too."

"Whenever I'm with my friends, it's really easy to be like, 'Who suffers from anxiety?' and everyone will raise their hand. But if you say 'Who suffers from depression?' no one will raise their hand because there's a stigma around the word and I think we have to let go of that," she said.
