“I will always want to be honest about my own experiences. I’ve always written songs about girls. I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned a guy in my songs, and that’s why I wanted to talk about it. For me there’s still a lack of representation. I just think the reason I wasn’t so comfortable with my sexuality was because there was no one on TV or anywhere that I could point to and go, Look mom! This person is what I was talking about!”
She also revealed how her mom reacted to her same kiss:
“I must have been eight or nine. It was with another girl. Basically, we were kissing. Her mother pulled her away, and they never discussed it again.”
Her mom said:
“Why would you say that to me? Whereas if I was like, ‘Oh I’m going to go on a date with a guy. Oh that’s great, what’s he like? It’s the truth for a lot of bi and pan people – they don’t feel authentically queer when they’re in heterosexual relationships, and that is what the song is about.”

Writing Works as Her Therapy
Rina started to feel more seen when she started writing lyrics and composing songs as her therapy. In an interview with Grammy, she said:
“During therapy, what was amazing is this idea of, now that you’re an adult, you’re able to see your younger self as a child slightly separate from you. It’s this beautiful moment where you’re able to hold your inner child and give them the love that they didn’t have when you were younger, whether it was the parenting you needed, or the general support that you needed, or the friendship you needed.”
She continued:
“That was the therapeutic process that I went through, and what I really wanted to trace narratively with this record. It starts off by being like, this is what’s wrong, and then it goes into this moment of chaos, a real self-punching moment where you are letting yourself be swallowed in the chaos of it and emotional turmoil, which is like the middle of the album after forgiveness. Then it kind of ends in the euphoria.”
