A song isn't always what you think it is about! Doechii shared in a new interview with Cosmopolitan magazine that she had to "process" her hit song "Denial Is a River" before she wrote it and that she didn't want to give one single ex "promo."
"Sometimes I have to process things before I can talk about them, because if I try to do it immediately, I’m gonna say the wrong thing," Doechii, 26, told the publication. "But that song took me a year to process."
"And I talked about three different exes in that song," said Doechii clarified. "People think it’s just one! I decided I had to talk about it for me."
The "Anxiety" singer is glad her music can help inspire others. "I remember listening to SZA’s Ctrl for the first time, and it literally gave me the courage to break up with [an ex at the time]," said Doechii. "I only bring that up because she inspired me to be vulnerable through my music in a way that I didn’t think I could be."
