Megan Thee Stallion has seen a vast improvement in her songwriting since focusing more on her mental and physical health.
After taking a much-needed break following the traumatic shooting at the hands of Tory Lanez in 2020, the Houston Hottie is back to making music and feeling better than ever. Talking about her journey in her cover story with Women’s Health published on Wednesday (April 10), Meg revealed her path to healing began with therapy.
“It took me a while to acknowledge that I was depressed,” she admitted. “But once I started talking to a therapist, I was able to be truthful with myself.”
Then she deleted social media from her phone to avoid trolls and doomscrolling, and the next step was then a regimented workout routine.
“Working on myself made me get into working out because I needed to focus my energy somewhere else,” she said. “I used working out to escape and to get happy.”
Her diet got an overhaul next, and it even included putting down her favorite brown liquor in favor of the less sugar-filled tequila. And it was ultimately journaling that helped her up her pen game.
“Strengthening her mind-body connection through journaling has led to writing deeper rhymes and transforming how she shows herself love,” the story’s writer confirmed. “By jotting her emotions down daily, Megan says she’s moving away from the tendency to ‘slip into using hate language toward myself.’ Instead, she’s discovering “a more positive approach” to the way she speaks to and about herself.”
With all the transformation, Meg said of her next LP: “I was inspired to create this album about rebirth because I feel I am becoming a new person physically and mentally.”
Megan Thee Stallion spoke about the new album in an Instagram Live with her Hotties earlier this month.
As a dynamic artist with different styles, Megan is still trying to figure out the balance between rap versus ratchet for this next release.
“How many songs do y’all wanna hear on this album? Because in my mind, I was thinking 14. But I keep recording songs that are so good. Like, I be in one mood one week and another the next week,” she said.
“I was like, ‘Damn, I need to rap my ass off.’ So the first 20 songs I had, I’m just straight rapping. And then I started being in a better mood and I was recording feel-good songs.
“And then I got in a ratchet mood ’cause you know it’s about to be summertime and we about to be outside, so then I started making some lil’ pop that ass music.”
While struggling to settle on an exact number of songs for the album, Megan teased releasing “an A side and a B side” to satisfy hungry fans.
