She stated, “Me being in it, I feel so different to how I felt during the first album. I’m just excited for my new one that’s coming this year. Just to see how different it is like. what’s this Tyla now?” Attributing the shift to personal growth and experience, she added, “I’ve been through stuff. I don’t know, I feel like a woman. I’m 24, it was my birthday the other day. I feel like a woman.”[3]
