“I would have to say, honestly, I feel like I lost my sanity at one point,” Willow responded. “It was after that whole "Whip My Hair" thing, and I had just stopped doing singing lessons, and I was kind of like, just in this gray area of ‘Who am I? Do I have a purpose? Is there anything, like, I can do besides this?’”
Willow was only 10 years old when “Whip My Hair” came out.
“After the tour and the promotion and all of that, they wanted me to finish my album,” she said. “And I was like, I’m not gonna do that. And after all of that kinda settled down and it was like a kind of lull, I was just listening to a lot of dark music, and it was just so crazy and I was just like plunged into this black hole, and I was, like, cutting myself.”
