Heartbreak can definitely give you a deeper sensibility for writing songs. I drew on a lot of heartbreak when I was writing my first album, I didn't mean to but I just did.

A lot of the songs are based on my previous relationship. It didn't work out. I lost him, and it ruined me. I had to learn to get back on my feet. I used that heartbreak to create something really beautiful.

Heartbreak is good fuel for country songs. And cheating.

A lot of my heartbreak songs are inspired by things my sisters are going through, or friends.

A lot of songs are empowering because everybody who has been through a hard time in a relationship or in their lives can relate to it.

It's frustrating to do albums that you think are worth listening to, but it's just so difficult to cut through.

Good new songs are the backbone of the music industry. There isn't an artist out there who could survive without hit songs.

A lot of people have come with 100 songs and never had the impact that I have with one, and I'm well aware of that.

I always prefer to write songs about emotional situations and heartbreak because I like getting into the character.
