Willow New Album 'COPINGMECHANISM' About Mental Health?

Willow, on her latest Instagram page, has provided little to no details of what's to come on the new album.

But in a previous interview on Youngblud's podcast in BBC, the 21-year-old singer has detailed how her mental health had suffered while living in the world of spotlight.

"My mental health is in a very fragile state, but I think it's in a state where it's about to grow in a really awesome way," she claimed at the time.

Elsewhere in the interview, she recounted an instance where she was struck with a panic attack while in the middle of a show.

"I was doing the 'Jimmy Fallon' performance and I had like a flashback of being like 10 or 9 and having like an anxiety attack onset and basically feeling like everyone around me was like 'You're just a brat'. 'Why aren't you grateful?'" Willow explained.

Since then Willow revealed that she managed to overcome the episodes through "re-training her mind."

With her new album coming soon, it could be highly likely that she has taken inspiration from her struggles and put it into music.

As of this writing, there has been no official description of what the contents and overarching theme of her album would be but it could be aparrent that her family, including his father, would take huge part in it.

"COPINGMECHANISM's" lead single, "Hover Like A Goddess," is finally out on streaming services, including on YouTube.
