One person responded saying “I knew there was a reason to live.”

Another person pointed out that this is only part one, indicating there will be more to come.

 

Inner Monologue Part 1 will be released on January 25 with tickets for Michaels’ tour coming out two days before on January 23.

Michaels chatted to Zane Lowe on Beats 1 about her new music, saying of “Anxiety”: “I basically was just like I kind of want to talk about these sort of things that I deal with on a daily basis. Not just anxiety but the fear of missing out and sort of wanting to do things but never actually like having the ability to go through with anything that you want to do.”

“So we wrote ‘Anxiety’ and I sent it to Selena. And I was like I think it’d be really awesome to have a song with two women on it that struggle with the same thing, that are talking about something other than two women fighting for a guy’s attention. Or something like that. It’s almost like a female empowerment song without it being a female empowerment song. It’s us saying ‘Hey we have anxiety and we’re okay with it.'”

Michaels added of Gomez’s recent struggles, “I think for anybody it’s hard to talk about. Not a lot of people want to admit that they’re flawed or feel like people are going to judge them or look at them different for saying, ‘Hey, I have this.’ You know?”

“I think it’s hard for anybody to be that open with a lot of people, and especially the way that we do it, as we’re making music for everybody. So, you know, it’s pretty vulnerable.”
