Find out more about the Canadian singer-songwriter behind "Lost Boy" and "Superficial Love."

 

"Superficial Love" Was Meant To Be "Anthemic"

As the previous fact stated, she's rooted in piano. But for a new version of "Superficial Love" set to drop later this week, she envisioned a bigger sound. "When I initially wrote this song, in my head, it was always this big, wild song that obviously I couldn't make it that on my piano," she explained. "I think [with] this one, it was obvious to make it bigger with the keyboard version because the lyrics are bold and almost anthemic. It's kind of about how there's so much going on in the world, and unfortunately, I feel like there's a lot of superficial things. People want to get to know for all the wrong reasons. That's what I was feeling when I wrote the song."

 

 

And We Should Be Looking Forward to More of This in The Future

"I think 'Lost Boy' was my introduction," she said. "And musically, in my head, I'm much more than the piano. I love the piano, and that's where my heart will always be. But I definitely think it's all about growth and exploring so you'll definitely hear more of that produced sound, but it'll be the same in that [the songs will] be super raw and honest."

 

She's Better at Spotting Superficial Love Now

Writing about her personal experiences, "Superficial Love" tapped into the moments when one questions if love — romantic or not — is real. And she admitted that this skill is something she learned as she got older.

"That just becomes easier over time," she said. "It's not that easy when you're super young. You're a little naive. Even now when I enter a relationship, whether it's a friendship or romantic one, I don't go into it thinking, 'Hmm are they real or are they fake or whatever.' I go into it and let life happen and see if they're genuine or not. I try not to go into anything and search whether someone's fake or whatever. I let their actions help me figure that out."

 

She Won't Let Fame Get to Her Head

"My family and friends keep me grounded," she explained. "I'm from a city in Canada that's not super bling and fashion. It's not crazy so it's not very hard for me to stay the same. And I think that's how I always wanted to live my life and how I foresee my life going. I love my career and love to make music, but I want to remain humble, real, intact with my family and friends but still make really cool music."
