It makes me emotional every time I try to sing it or play it for someone. It\u2019s about the tug of war of wanting to leave and then wanting to go back and as I get older appreciating it more.<\/p>\n<p>Q. <strong>Which song are you most excited to perform live?<\/strong><br \/>A. \u201cHOLE IN THE BOTTLE\u201d YEE EFFING HAW.<\/p>\n<p>Q. <strong>Tell us something about you and Halsey writing \u201cThe Other Girl\u201d?<\/strong><br \/>A. The day Ash* put her angel vocals on \u201cThe Other Girl,\u201d I played her \u201cHomecoming Queen\u201d and she played me \u201cYou Should Be Sad.\u201d<br \/>* Halsey\u2019s real name is Ashley Nicolette Frangipane.<\/p>\n<p>Q. <strong>Can you give us a lyric from \u201cLove Me Like A Girl\u201d?<\/strong><br \/>A. \u201cThe truth is me and you, we\u2019re wired different. So it makes sense sometimes we get crossed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Q. <strong>Any love songs for Morgan (Evans) on the album?<\/strong><br \/>A. Welp, I hate love songs, but there are 2 fun ones on there. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IQ46DXEQn-Y\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">She does indeed hate them<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>Q. <strong>How needy is \u201cNeedy\u201d?<\/strong><br \/>A. \u201cNeedy\u201d is the realization that you can still be independent and need someone. It doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re codependent, it means you love and trust them.<\/p>\n<p>Q. <strong>Can you tell us a little about \u201cOvershare,\u201d the opening track?<\/strong><br \/>A. It will make you laugh, it\u2019s quirky, but the hook is deeper than you expect. It also talked about my CUTE DOG DIBS.<\/p>\n<p>Q. <strong>What was your reasoning behind choosing the title name?<\/strong><br \/>A. While I was writing and making this album, I was also coming up for air for the first time in 6 years. I was re-getting to know myself. You hear a lot of that throughout the record. It\u2019s the music that puts us on a first name basis. <\/p>\n<p>Q. <strong>What is your go-to routine to deal with anxiety?<\/strong><br \/>A. This is a new one for me. Growing up talking about anxiety was really taboo. But I realized it\u2019s very real and something I struggle with often. I go to therapy. I call people I trust. I take moments for myself to shut the door and get my head right. I really value boundaries.<\/p>\n<p>Q. <strong>How would you describe the album in 3 words?<\/strong><br \/>A.
