So I was alone in the room and it was one of those moments. I don't mean to sound pretentious, but I just don't believe that anything is ours. You know, when it comes to creativity, I think it's all floating here. And I think some, I don't know why some people are given they're in the right mind space or open to grab one of those things.

And it was one of those moments where I was sort of alone in the studio room. I think everyone was eating lunch. And I had the title God is a Woman in my phone. And I wanted a song called God is a Woman to be written. I just thought that was a great concept. And I have two boys, and I thought that how amazing it would be if my children got to hear it.

I have two boys, and they get to hear a song called God is a Woman on the radio. That would be amazing. And all of a sudden, this came to me.
