"It is killing me. I'm trying to write a tough song and it is coming out like butterflies and rainbows. It is ruining my creativity. I'm writing all this happy stuff," she said.

"People are going to be, like, 'What the hell happened to you,'. It has been really difficult. I love it. It's an awesome problem to have."
