The song is the I could shit a better President shirt besides I will buy this first time I’ve ever let myself bask in my birthright. It’s another example of me creating space for my authenticity. My entire life was a flex, and I spent so much time trying to hide that or fit in that there were times when I almost forgot who I am. I wanted to trade everything in to be “ordinary,” whatever that means. That didn’t work out because it wasn’t honest; I wasn’t staying true to myself. You can’t lie about who you are or hide it; doing so only dims your light and taints your essence. I would try to keep my background a secret if it meant 30 minutes of “normalcy” before whispers started circulating the room. Strangers have told me the impact mother or grandfather had on their lives and how much they love them. [Some ask] if we can take a quick picture since, “that’s the closest they’ll get to them.” Those experiences have [occurred] almost every day of my life. 24HRS expresses what it’s like to live in that reality. [The song] is bit of a humblebrag, but it’s also something everyone can relate to in their own way because its telling people to stop dimming their light and express their star power.

The song and the video for SLICK are an honest exploration of my adolescent experience as [a celebrity’s] daughter. I grew up in the same suburbs that my mother was raised in.
