<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On singing openly about other women Lily had this to say: &#8220;<em>I met with a lot of record labels, but the thing about Big Loud that was a no-brainer for me was that they just let their artists be authentic and we have song integrity that&#8217;s through the roof out here. As long as we maintain those two things and we have very high song integrity, and being authentic, I&#8217;mma cut the song. And with &#8216;Remind me of You&#8221; you know there&#8217;s so many pronouns and everything&#8230; we&#8217;re not afraid of getting backlash on a song that&#8217;s a smash&#8230; It&#8217;s all about what serves the song.</em>&#8220;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On her sudden success and acceptance from high-profile artists, she says &#8220;<em>Starting to form relationships with some of my favorite country artists like Tenpenny, and Devon Dawson, and Jimmy (Allen) and all of this&#8230; Imposter Syndrome is real! </em>&#8220;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On advice for young people who might be having a rough time: &#8220;<em>As long as you are always living your truth, people are going to love you. It might not be the people you were hopeful to be accepted by but there is a group of people out there that is a no-brainer, that is going to accept you and adore you. Just be true to you. </em>&#8220;</p>
