My sweet soul sister. Julia you have been a huge part of my life. You have taught me how to have courage when I have self doubt. This song is extremely close to my heart as I’ve experienced anxiety and know a lot of my friends do too. You’re never alone if you feel this way. The message is much needed and I really hope you guys like it!

Julia sings about how whenever she thinks she has overcome depression, anxiety proves her wrong. Selena sings about how difficult it can be that her friends don’t understand that she is dealing with anxiety and how she wishes that she could somehow “fix it.” It’s refreshing that singers are giving their fans music that speaks of mental health so candidly.

Inner Monologue Part 1 is now available on streaming services.
