Loren Gray Spills on Her Songwriting Process: 'It's Like a Therapy Session'

Loren Gray is getting candid about her songwriting process!

The 17-year-old “Anti-Everything” singer and TikTok star opened up in a new interview with J-14.

“Last year I was 16, it was my first round of releasing music,” Loren said. “Since then I’ve been working more on having an identity as an artist and really figuring out what it is that I want to talk about and how I want to sound. That’s kind of been what this last year has been looking like. Hopefully I’ll be releasing music again soon. Very soon.”

Loren added that she’s “not sure” if she’s going to release an album: “I don’t know yet, [I’m going to release] some kind of body of music but I’m not sure what it’s going to be yet. I’m kind of just getting the content right now and getting the songs, picking which ones I like.”

On whether or not she’ll tour, Loren shared, “Of course, that’s what I’m aiming for. I think my favorite part. My favorite aspect of music is the performance part! So that’s what I’m most excited about. [Creating] the music, that’s the hard part. Then the performing and tour, that’s the easy part.”

On her writing process, Loren explained, “I write a lot of my own music. I usually go in with a producer, and every now and then there will be another writer in the room. I just kind of talk about what’s happening in my life and it’s kind of like a therapy session. Usually something good comes out of that. Or sometimes other writers will come to me with ideas and then I’ll put my own spin on it. It’s usually really collaborative and open and it’s very therapeutic for me as well.”
