"You are just drawn to each other. This can be good and bad. This album takes you down every path that chemistry could lead you down," she explained.
"We decided to release "mine" and "me" at the same time because I didn’t want to release just one song to represent an entire album or relationship. There are many stages of grief and loss on this album."
