[ Cheering and applause ] I wrote it on my bedroom floor.
Actually, looking in a mirror, which is kind of like weirdly metaphorical -- I didn't mean it that way, but... Um, when I wrote it, I always felt, like, this inferiority with people, like, I always felt like I wasn't pretty enough, or good enough, or smart enough to be in somebody's life.
And one of the awesome parts of growing up for me was realizing that, you know, when you're in a relationship with someone, platonic or romantic or whatever, usually when somebody makes you feel like you're not good enough, it's because they don't -- they don't feel like they're good enough themselves, and, um, that was a really cool thing for me to learn growing up.
[ Cheering and applause ] And, uh, wrote a song about it.
And it's called "Enough For You."

[ Cheering and applause ] Thank you guys, for real, you've been the best crowd, thank you -- mwah!
[ Cheering and applause ] I'm a very nervous person, like, I get nervous before I take math tests, so, like, performing in front of thousands of people is definitely a little bit nerve-racking sometimes, but it's so exhilarating, it's just so cool to connect to people on, like, a real human level, and, you know, not through, like, social media, which is lovely too, but it's just a whole new experience when you're in person feeling the songs with people, it's incredible.
You know, I think social media's really wonderful in some regards; I've used it to connect with fans, and -- and, um, that's been incredible, and such an enriching experience.
But, you know, sometimes I think everyone has to check in with themselves and check in on their mental health, and sometimes social media can kind of be tricky in that regard.
I love listening to sad songs, I love writing sad songs, um, I just love music that really moves you, I love music that makes you feel, you know, different after you listen to it, like, this sort of catharsis, and I've been writing, like, sad break-up songs since I was, like, 10 years old, like, before I even, like, held hands with a boy, it's just sort of been something that's always been in me.
And so it's, yeah, super cool to see those songs sort of resonate with people too.
I remember putting "Drivers License" out, which was this really, like, heartfelt break-up ballad, and watching so many people resonate with it, people would come up to me, you know, older men, people of different sexualities and genders and ages, um, and that was really cool for me to see -- and even people who, you know, had been married for 30 years, they'd come up to me and be like, "Oh, I'm not, like, feeling that way, but it takes me back to when I was 17 years old and I was going through my first heartbreak," and I think that's super magical, that music not only has the power to unite us all in that feeling, but also transport people back to a time when they were feeling the same way I was feeling, it's just -- it's just magic, there's no other way to describe it.
I've been writing songs, even if they're gibberish, when I was four years old, but it wasn't until I was about nine years old, um, that I learned how to play piano, um, and that's when my love for songwriting really kind of skyrocketed, and I learned more about, um, the craft of it all, uh, and, uh, yeah, it's just been amazing ever since.

Like -- [ Cheering and applause ] Grew up watching bands do this, um, I remember watching the Bright Eyes one over and over, and uh, I feel like I have to clear something up, which is, there's a lyric in this song that I say I hate Texas, but it's a joke.
Bill -- Bright Eyes's tour manager -- who, when Nicki was on tour with them too, used to, like, his whole joke was getting out of the van in Germany and saying, "I hate this part of Texas."
It's a good riff.
