I definitely have worked trying to create music that inspires girls to feel confident and strong, and feel like they can do anything.

I never had a lot of friends growing up so having this insane amount of love and support really means a lot to me.

Eventually I realized that Cry Baby was a character that was based off of me, and that we had a lot of similarities.

I also made a lot of really great friends on that show [the Voice], so that's one of the most important things that I've taken out of that experience.

Basically it's the idea of celebrities being in the spotlight and just because you think that they should be perfect, that they're still human and they still have flaws just like everyone else. So that was the real meaning behind "Dollhouse", at least how it related to me because it's something I was annoyed with at the time.

I was genuinely happy when I wrote that song [Training Wheels] and very in love. That's a very rare emotion to evoke out of me.

When I first started writing the album, "Cry Baby" was a song that I really wanted to write because it represented all of these personal insecurities that I had for a long time.
