During an interview she stated. “I can’t lie…What I’m singing about is my life. It’s the truth. I’ve had moments where that [drug-taking] has been a bigger part than it should be. It’s hard to admit to, and I could filter it or find another metaphor for it – but it doesn’t feel right to me.” Regarding her lyric, “I eat my dinner in my bathtub”, she mentions to Billboard that she usually falls asleep in the bathtub when she’s home drunk, but wakes up when the water reaches her face. She says, “So far, I haven’t drowned.”
