Noah Cyrusis getting candid about her battle with depression and how it’s shaped her new music.
“This EP is mostly just about how my emotions have been, and about my anxiety, and about how I’ve been struggling with depression, and how it’s okay to feel those feelings,” the 18-year-old artist explained during an interview withL’OfficielUSA.
“A lot of people like to judge you, and make fun of you on the Internet, and people make you feel crazy whenever you’re in a depression or having anxiety or having a panic attack,” Cyrus continued.
“It’s about that and being sad and having your emotions and not being able to ignore the feelings you’re having,” she also told the outlet in reference to her EP, which was released this month.
Although emotion has been a theme in her songs “Make Me (Cry)” and “Stay Together,” her latest project, will give fans a taste of her “more ’emo’ side,” Cyrus toldL’Officiel.
