“It took a long time to figure out where I wanted to go musically,” she says of her almost-complete debut album, explaining that she insisted her label of three years, Columbia, release “Sorry” as a single this summer. “This is what I’m doing,” she recalls telling the label. “Get on or get off. I think this is a summer song, and I want it on the radio by the end of the summer.”
