Summary
Bebe Rexha returns to the couch for one of her most vulnerable conversations yet. Having visited us countless times over the years, this interview skips the small talk and dives straight into the reality of rebuilding yourself after setbacks. As she enters a new independent chapter and prepares to release her new album 'Dirty Blonde,' Bebe opens up about faltering confidence, questioning her place in the industry, and the emotional toll of constantly hustling in a business that can be as discouraging as it is rewarding. We also discuss why she says "old Bebe is dead," the summer heartbreak that inspired much of 'Dirty Blonde,' and the challenge of resisting comparison in an industry built on it. Along the way, Bebe shares stories behind hits like “Me, Myself & I,” “Hey Mama,” and “Meant to Be,” explains why some of her biggest songs for others (“The Monster”) were originally intended for herself, talks about working with Billy Ray Cyrus and Hit-Boy, and reflects on being a songwriter first, producer second, and artist always.
