00:00It's not always easy being a young woman

00:01in the music industry, but I found so much strength

00:05from the female songwriters and artists

00:07who have come before me and paved the way.

00:35about myself even, or the world,

00:38or like how I fit into all of it.

00:39I'm just kinda just like doing what I like

00:42and following what makes me happy right now.

01:04My heritage is a part of who I am.

01:06I'm part Filipina.

01:07On my dad's side of the family,

01:09my Filipino heritage comes from my great-grandfather.

01:41I've been writing songs since I could literally talk.

01:43Like my mom has home videos of me

01:45just making up gibberish songs

01:46about like going to the grocery store

01:48and stuff like that when I was so young.

01:50♫

02:20Being like a young 13-year-old girl on a set

02:24and having to emote in front of a bunch of people

02:26that you don't know,

02:27I think that got me really comfortable

02:29with my emotions and expressing those emotions.

02:31♫

02:58I got my driver's license last week

03:01just like we always talked about

03:04because you were so excited for me

03:08to finally drive up to your house

03:11but today I drove through the suburbs

03:14crying because you weren't around.

03:19You said forever, now I drive alone past your street.

03:25♫

03:29Two days after the song came out,

03:30we were like, oh, whoa,

03:31this doesn't usually happen.

03:33This is really crazy.

03:34Is the computer glitching?

03:36Why are so many people streaming it?

03:37It's crazy.
