Lizzo is getting real about how her "intense" relationship with music got her through a "really dark" time of her life.

Lizzo, who recently dropped her rap mixtape My Face Hurts From Smiling and is gearing up to release her fifth studio album Love in Real Life, recently spoke to Rolling Stone about how making music helped with her mental health struggles during a period of depression, per People.

"My relationship with music was still very intense," she said. "I still am like, 'Music saved my life,' because there were really dark moments where I was working on Love in Real Life, my album, where I was like, 'Okay, I don't think I can make it through the day, but I have to go to the studio.'"

While she may have channeled her raw emotions into her craft, Lizzo admitted that "a lot of the songs" she wrote during that time didn't make the cut for her upcoming album because "[she] would be like, 'That felt good to say, but you can't put that out.'"

The "About Damn Time" singer previously opened up about the downside of viral fame, admitting that heightened attention from certain videos can negatively affect her mental health and even cause an anxiety attack.

Love in Real Life is expected to drop sometime in 2025. Fans have already got a look at what to expect from the album with the lead single and title track "Love in Real Life" as well as "Still Bad."
