Atlantic RecordsLizzo is ruling the Billboard 100 chart with her number one single, “Truth Hurts,” and she remembers it was inspired by her ex-boyfriend breaking up with her on a voicemail.
The 31-year-old rapper/singer says she was so depressed, she did not want to go to the studio. She told the story to producer Ricky Reed who wrote down her words and convinced her to record the lyrics.
“I literally just kind of went in the booth and laid down everything verbatim that I had said about this person who had hurt me and I just said it to music,” Lizzo tells Billboard.
