Renowned singer and songwriter Lizzo recently weighed in on the overwhelming urgency she feels over the thought of topping her last album sales.
The songwriter made this claim during a recent interview with People magazine.
There she was quoted saying, "I felt like I was going to be rusty, but it's almost like second nature."
Even though “I've learned to trust myself and trust my body again. My confidence was shook a little bit over this time, like, 'Will people care? Are people going to show up?' They proved me wrong. I got my confidence back."
But slowly "I let go of the part of myself I lost — being anonymous, privacy — but I've gained so much."
"My dreams are coming true. People love my music. That's all I ever wanted. I was really hungry back then, burning the candle at both ends."
But now "Now I have this sort of calm to me, like: 'You've done it. Enjoy it. Appreciate it.'"
However, there is an aspect of the music industry that still affects her negatively, "The commercial success I think is where the pressure is. Everyone's like, 'You gotta have the same type of No. 1s and Grammys.'”
“First of all, I didn't expect none of that, so I'm not expecting it this time either. What I do expect of myself is to make great music, and I've done that."
