Appearing on their latest segment, Sawayama stopped by to promote her song ‘This Hell,’ which serves as the lead single for her upcoming ‘Hold The Girl’ album.
When asked what the song was about, she said: “I kinda really wanted to turn it on its head, this narrative and this trauma that a lot of people have about being shunned and being wrong and told that you’re wrong from traditional religious-based beliefs.”
She continued: “Just to poke fun at it a bit and that’s how a lot of queers, I think, deal with trauma. It’s hard, but then you just go challenged accepted.”
