00:13Well, you know, I be loving because when these questions are asked, I'm almost never prepared

00:34girly, very cutesy.
00:36I'm enjoying that, so I can't speak to that, but I do not know anything else besides that.
00:40Listen, we'll take it.

01:16And then also I've been like, hmm, okay, how do I become who I feel like I am now?
01:22Like, I want to be more positive.
01:24I'm not in the heartbreak mode.
01:26So I've really been like, honestly, figuring it out myself.
01:30I feel like I'll tell more about it as I'm rolling out my next couple of songs, which
01:35will be on this side of the year.
01:36But it's definitely been like a learning process of like reinventing.
