Speaking to People, Lauren shared insight into her new single “Ego,” which is the first new song off of her upcoming album.
“I think my long-time fans know me, and I feel like this just is the next chapter of me — what I’ve been internally moving through especially,” the singer said. “I feel like I’ve been AWOL on socials, to be honest. I went through a dark night of the soul, and that’s a very jarring experience that makes being perceived, especially misconstrued, really painful.”
“I was just like, ‘What are we even doing social media for?’ Then, I woke up, and I was like, ‘Because the kids are on social media, that’s where everybody’s at. That’s where everybody’s talking. That’s where everybody’s connecting.’ I’ve been in that fluctuation.”
But all of that being said, she doesn’t intend to withdraw completely. It’s more like now her follows can anticipate her being “more present and having something to say that’s more direct and intentional than just all my thoughts.”
Most of all, the 27-year-old former Fifth Harmony member wants to connect with people through music.
“I really do sincerely believe art has always been the saving grace in dark times, the thing that illuminates and brings about knowledge and the ability to connect with one another even if we’re different,” she added.
After being eliminated from DWTS earlier this season, Lauren penned an open letter to her fans to share why she was so upset by the shocking decision.
