“We don’t have enough time,” Grande proceeded. “We don’t need to go into any specifics, but of course there’s an insatiable frustration, an inexplicable hellish feeling with watching people misunderstand the people you love, and you.”
The Victorious alum additionally shared that her brand-new cd Eternal Sunshine, which shows up March 8, “says everything and nothing at the same time” regarding the scenario. “It’s very vague and very specific, all at once,” she proceeded. “It was definitely the most emotional writing process, for sure.”
“When I was writing, it was with no intention for the world to hear it,” the vocalist included. “When I was done, I remembered that people will hear it, and how people can sometimes sensationalize things and assign meaning to certain things. I combed through just to make sure that it was what I intended. I had some sessions where I was definitely writing more emotionally and more reactively.”
