When I was 17, my producer Rodney Jerkins was working with Michael Jackson at the time. He knew how much I wanted to meet Michael Jackson, so he says, 'Would you like to come and meet him?' I'm like, 'Are you serious? Of course I want to meet Michael Jackson! Where do I meet you? Where do we come?'

So when you get a chance to look at things and chill and relax, it makes you want it more, and that's why I'm so happy to be back!

There's a lot of people out there who go through hard times, and they feel alone. They feel like nobody is there. But I'm in the same boat.

It feels so great to be back on the scene.

I certainly didn't want to date. I was through with guys.

I have so much more to go through as a young lady. But oh my God. I feel like I can do anything.

I've been gone for a long time. I really want to give the fans something that they deserve to have. So, I'm working really hard on this. I really want to make it the best work I've done so far.
