And I realized that they were literally just putting on an act to get into my pants and that hurt. That really hurt my feelings and I was so mad.“Putting her feelings into lyrics wasn’t easy for the singer, but her fans acceptance made it worthwhile.“It’s an intimidating thing to be openly angry it was something that I did with ‘abc’ and people were fully accepting me for it, which is really lovely,” she said. “It also gave me the confidence of really allowing myself to hold this person accountable for their actions.“She even called him up to let him know, “I’m like, ‘You deserved it.’ He also knows. He knows that he pissed me off. I feel like with ‘abc,’ the person I wrote that about, I didn’t let them know. I just cut them off, done. Didn’t even give them the time or energy to explain why I’m angry with them.“She continued, “This person, I was like, ‘You changed. You treat me differently now and I see that and that hurts my feelings and I’m mad at you for it.'“Gayle.Christopher Polk/Polk Imaging for WestfieldLooking ahead, Gayle has a new EP releasing in March, and she’s also slated to open forTate McRaeon her upcoming tour.“I’m so excited.
