I got invited to do so many songwriting sessions, but at that point, I had pretty much only ever written by myself.

And so being thrown in rooms with songwriters and producers and stuff, I was so shy.

I just felt it was always so hard for me to open up creatively in front of strangers.

Um, so I would just like walk out of sessions crying and just be like, I suck.

I can't do this.

You know, it was hard.

That was the hardest part for me.

Yeah, just trying to create hit songs every time I go into a writing session.

I just felt like there were such high expectations on what I would deliver.

And I can't force creativity.

It's like it just happens or it doesn't, you know?

But I felt like I had to deliver a hit song every time.

And because I put that pressure on myself, it kind of shut down my creativity.

And it made it really hard for me to do that.

So then I ended up just leaving a lot of sessions and feeling like I didn't deserve to be where I was and not good enough.

I didn't really...

Yeah.

I don't think I ever got over that.

I did a lot of these sessions for a while because I felt like I had to, and then I just kind of stopped taking them.

I stopped agreeing to do them because it was just too much.
