Of course.

Kathleen Hanna.

I had a thought when listening to my way that there's like some, no doubt in there.

I know you're a big return of Saturn girl.

And you mentioned the care who spanned both of those arrows who continued making music through that.

And they are a through line through the album.

You allude to Just Like Heaven and Drop Dead, the first song.

Then there's a song called The Cure, which will be the next song that people hear from the album that comes after Purple in the track list.

And that's the moment where you say, you're punning obviously on the band title in some ways, but you say, Buff's not fixing me.

It's not the be-all and the end-all.

Can you talk a little bit about that?

the writing of The Cure and what that song means to the album's story.

You mentioned the ugly sides of even being in love, and one of them that you touch on on this album in what I think is an interesting way is jealousy and being territorial, which is something that has been present in your earlier music, but not, as you say, from the vantage of a big girl relationship.

This song, My Way, that I mentioned earlier, strays a little from the central relationship narrative.

And I thought you make a pretty direct choice to target it at another woman in the tradition of great songs like Jolene or Misery Business or Better Than Revenge.

And given your standing among young women and how important of a songwriter you are

to your audience, did that feel like a risk to write a song that pointed where you call yourself a petty bitch?

And people can relate to feeling angry and pissed and jealous and territorial and whatever it is.

It's like that is as valid of a feeling as what would traditionally be a good feeling.

Fair enough.
