What I feel like people don't know is when you are a music artist, you are either on cycle or off cycle for an album. I think nowadays there's so much fast turnaround with music and there's like the deluxe of an album is kind of like a industry standard that I think we've forgotten like what it means to be on cycle and off cycle because everyone's always on. I had planned on being off cycle.

That means you're not in the media. You're not doing interviews. Your album cycle is done. You're not going to be played on the radio as much because people aren't working your records. You're not going to be promoting anything because you're working on the next album. So you can be on cycle and you can be back in the media and back in the press and back on tour.

And I think the best, most simplest answer as to why I'm back now is because my album's done. This is my job. I am a musical artist. I make studio albums. I put them out. I promote them. I tour them. And I do it because I'm really good at music and I really want to help people with music because I know that music has saved my life. So I know it can save someone else's life. You know what I mean?

And I think that's like the most simple answer. But I think it's loaded this time because at the exact same time, I was like, I'm going on a vacation. I'm going to be in Japan. I'm going to go to Kyoto and be in the woods and like disappear. I also had a huge scandal come out.

And I think that it looked like I was shut down or silenced or hiding when really it was like, but it's just the end of my album cycle and this was planned. So I think this album cycle, I'm going to have to do a lot of work that I'm cool with. And expressing that and explaining that because I don't think people knew or know the difference between me being like, oh, I'm off cycle. I'm in Japan.

I'm in the woods and I'm meditating. And, oh, this scandal just happened. Where's Lizzo? You know what I mean? So I'm aware of that. I'm cognizant of it. And I'm up for the challenge of explaining this to the people who care about me because they deserve to know, honestly. Yeah.

I was a little girl watching anime. I took that time. I stepped foot back into America and I walked into the studio. I've been in the studio since October, 2023. And I think I finished my last studio session for...

Love In Real Life, last week when I mastered it, I've been working constantly this whole time. I didn't take no time off. I couldn't, I really honestly couldn't. I took that little time in Japan that I allowed it for myself and I got in the kitchen and I rolled my sleeves up because I knew I was going to have to do my biggest one, you know?
