In her new song, “Dirty Laundry,” Rowland talks about the time she was in an abusive relationship, how she was able to get out and what she has been doing to move past it.

A lot of the songs on the album are very personal.

“I think that the most beautiful part about writing about it was how cathartic it was. I got it out and I felt 100 pound lighter. I didn’t write it for anyone else. I wrote it for myself,” said Rowland of writing the song.

She said the song came write from a conversation she was having with the producer. They began talking about the relationship and eventually she felt comfortable enough to start putting the words down as lyrics to a song.
