In the interview with Vogue, she highlights that “Short n’ Sweet persona is not a created character, but rather a more theatrical version of herself.” She discusses being home-schooled and getting to know her own head while being alone. She signed a 5-year record deal when she was 12 and was getting acting gigs at at the same time. She played guest roles on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Orange Is the New Black. A big acting opportunity for her was playing Maya Hart on Girl Meets World on Disney.

She says this album is the first time she got to “steer the whole thing” and is about her first real heartbreak.
