‘Some of the things I say, I realized that some women might really wanna say them. So I just keep all of these things in the back of my mind when I’m writing.’

She went on to point out how the spotlight has changed how she critiques her art. 

‘I’m not gon’ say I feel pressure, but sometimes I will get a little tingly because I just want to put out the best music for my fans as possible. I don’t like to disappoint them,’ she added.

‘So when I’m recording, I’m super hard on myself. I’m just always like, okay, I need to go harder than that. I’ll write and rewrite a verse about eight times.’

Megan’s second mixtape, Fever, which dropped in May 2019, helped break her to the mainstream with widespread acclaims from critics.
