00:00It's not always easy being a young woman
00:01in the music industry, but I found so much strength
00:05from the female songwriters and artists
00:07who have come before me and paved the way.

00:30I'm like 18, I don't really know hardly anything
00:35about myself even, or the world,
00:38or like how I fit into all of it.
00:39I'm just kinda just like doing what I like
00:42and following what makes me happy right now.

01:04My heritage is a part of who I am.
01:06I'm part Filipina.
01:07On my dad's side of the family,
01:09my Filipino heritage comes from my great-grandfather.
01:13♫
01:41I've been writing songs since I could literally talk.
01:43Like my mom has home videos of me
01:45just making up gibberish songs
01:46about like going to the grocery store
01:48and stuff like that when I was so young.
01:50♫
02:20Being like a young 13-year-old girl on a set
02:24and having to emote in front of a bunch of people
02:26that you don't know,
02:27I think that got me really comfortable
02:29with my emotions and expressing those emotions.
02:31♫
02:58I got my driver's license last week
03:01just like we always talked about
03:04because you were so excited for me
03:08to finally drive up to your house
03:11but today I drove through the suburbs
03:14crying because you weren't around.
03:19You said forever, now I drive alone past your street.
03:25♫
03:29Two days after the song came out,
03:30we were like, oh, whoa,
03:31this doesn't usually happen.
03:33This is really crazy.
03:34Is the computer glitching?
03:36Why are so many people streaming it?
03:37It's crazy.
03:38♫
03:43We're about to get the bridge of our lives.
