“I have songs about growing up, about ex-relationships – ex-relationship, I should say.”

I’m always wanting to spread as much positivity as possible, so I really try to keep that the case with my fans and with the campaigns that I do.

There’s nothing that scares me more than, like, being in the ocean by myself.
