I think when you come up to me, my energy says just that.

There\u2019s always kind of a looking within vibe, but this one in particular it feels more so than usual, but there\u2019s also something really easy about it. I mean, it\u2019s the first record I\u2019ve ever written single. \u2026 You\u2019ll definitely hear some <em>Lost on You<\/em> for sure, but we\u2019re rotating in all kinds of songs. \u2026 I sprinkle in the hits.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_83118\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-83118\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-83118\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2023\/11\/lp-musician-lgbtq-advocate-anthem-dc-2.jpg\" alt=\"LP\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-83118\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">US singer Laura Pergolizzi, known as LP, performs at the Iconica festival in Sevilla on July 15, 2023.
