      Soo I saw this tiktok where the guy explained that this was all a stunt. The person that she responded to that said ‘make a breakup song using the alphabet’ was actually a marketing specialist from Atlantic Records and she is also already signed to Atlantic Record. So with that being said this was very smart but it wasn’t a random person to blow up on tiktok who just so happened to write a song due to random recommendations . Nonetheless, Great song, great opportunity!!! Very smart girl!
