Becky G Reveals She Thought Her Career Was Over at 17

Becky G thought her career was over before it really even began.

The 21-year-old songstress just revealed that after the success of her song “Shower” when she was just 17, she thought her career wasn’t going anywhere else.

“That song in a way brought me to a level of success that I had never experienced in my career. That song took me to so many different places,” Becky told Buzzfeed.

But Becky didn’t think the song showed the world who she was, explaining, “It was music that didn’t really mean something to me or represent my story or what I was trying to accomplish.”

Becky continued, “I would say I feel like I kind of lost a little bit of my voice as an artist for some time, once I went into the pop thing. I had my hands tied behind my back. I didn’t really know what was going to happen, at 17 years old, thinking your career is already over.”

Thankfully, we know that wasn’t the case and Becky has since found success with her own sound!

“When I found my Spanish sound, I learned that you got to take the opportunities as they come. I’ve been very strategic, and I’ve taken things one step at a time, and it’s taken me this far. The truth is, I don’t even know where I’m going to be tomorrow. We’ll figure it out when we get there,” Becky concluded.
