So I don't like to be pressured and shouted at. At the beginning of my career, I would cry at home almost every three days because the pressure was too much. Especially when Forever blew up. The expectations were high for me to come out with another hit song," she said.The "Forever" hitmaker however noted that she has understood how the music industry works and is therefore resistant to pressure and social media bullies.
