My second single ‘People Keep Telling Me’ was inspired by the fact that I was really tired of going to all these parties and the first question people would ask would be ‘Oh, where’s your boyfriend?’ ‘Do you have a boyfriend?’ Why is that the first thing you have to ask me? Why not ask me how my music career is going? How my degree is going? It’s a song about confidence, about female empowerment. I want that song to embody strong females.
