You know what's so funny? I feel the most confident now.
100%.
I don't know. Something happened. I don't know. I just had like I had the 40s glow up. I was just like, wow, I just feel like me. You know, I feel like I know what happened. I had time to work on my inner life. You know, I had time to work on the things you don't have time to do when you're busy. Right. And then, you know, when you're burnt out and you don't get to journal, you don't get to.
you know, go to therapy, you don't get to go do those things. But I had a good time of three or four years of doing that. So I think by the time I got to this stage in my life, yeah, I just feel super happy with myself. Even when I get criticized, you know what I mean? I mean, who doesn't read the comments sometimes, right? It's hard not to.
I think it's human nature to go, oh, what are people saying? Of course. And then you're like, wow. Certain things, right? I feel like me personally, I've experienced my body's polarizing, you know what I mean? Which is so, it's crazy to say that, but it is. Because I see like, oh, wow, why did...
It's just like, wow, there's a lot of like comments and people arguing about like what I look like or like, you know what I mean? It's so interesting what fuels and triggers people. But I think at the end of the day, it can be really positive because you're starting conversations and that comes from confidence. And I think that's what it is.
It's like when you when you are confident, I don't know what it is, but I guess confidence. Sometimes it can be threatening or very empowering.
Well, first of all, my body's changed a lot. I've had three kids. I'm curvy, you know, and I have a curvy body. I'm like... If you go to where my parents are from, from San Miguel, my body is no big deal. Every girl on the beach has the same bum that I have.
It's true though. So it's all context and just maybe they're comparing you to another era when maybe you looked different or anything like that. But I've had fun with it because I've been wearing very body con clothing and it's very empowering. And I just kind of, I love... I love feeling this confident. I literally didn't even wear underwear on stage till like a year ago. I'm upset. Not even.
It's only been six months. I only let the booty out like six months ago. I'm upset.
Not laugh at yourself, but find things charming.
You know what I mean?
When I was 37, I had like a flingationship. I just coined this term.
Flingationship is like a fling relationship. So flingationship. Of love.
with um someone who was 23 and at the time it was just like it wasn't that big a deal but like i had was contextualizing it in my mind like oh that's so interesting because your perspective continues to change as you get older and you reflect on different things in your life differently like my new album just came out but i was listening to the one before it not this one so it's like a diary so you can go back and go and so for me music is a diary so
It's kind of fun.
I'm Like a Bird was inspired by I was in a relationship in my very early 20s.
right it was kind of like a first relationship kind of first kind of more like very serious relationship after my long sort of long-term high school boyfriend it was the next relationship after that um and yeah I was in a relationship and I was out in Los Angeles finishing my album kind of on my own I was very isolated I was probably 20 I was 20 or 21 or something
out there kind of in this little apartment, just working on music. And my collaborators were kind of older than me and they had their girlfriends and their wives out there, but not me. So it was a bit lonely. And they're like, okay, write some new songs, you know, and bring them into the studio.
I think it was our first day working in LA trying to finish my album after having made the rest of it in Canada. And I was sitting on a sofa. At the time this place was called the Oakwood Suites here in LA.
