In 2022, I wanted to write a song that discussed my manic behavior related to my mental illness. I brainstormed for weeks about the song. I decided to write about the feeling of being manic. I wanted to write a song that expresses the feelings, pain, and behavior I was experiencing during a manic episode. In 2017, I had a horrible manic episode. I was then hospitalized related to that mental health episode and then obviously put into treatment that saved my life. It’s so interesting writing about a mental health episode that took place prior to me being diagnosed, healthy, and medicated. I think "Manic" is one of my favorite songs I’ve released to streaming platforms.
