But once you're full up, there's this you're operating from the light and joy and like, beauty and you can share that with the world. Now woman's world is if not the whole record, right? And I know you got to hear some of the record. It's actually truly I think, the bridge for me, it's the bridge because from..” - She continued, “I think that people, they kind of when they think of me, they think of 'Roar' or they think of 'Firework' sometimes they think of 'I kissed a Girl' but I think mostly, they think of these kind of empowering songs, songs with a message songs that are like, captions on T shirts and stuff like that, or things that help people get through. And I love that I love hearing the stories and really I write these songs from a place where I need to get through something. But so I wanted to continue with that. And also, this is the first contribution I've given since becoming a mother and since feeling really connected to my feminine divine, so I wanted to start with that. Now that feminine divine has unlocked a lot of other things. It's unlocked this like grounded sexuality, the strength, it's a really it's a security.”
