I think they put it in Someone Great<\/em> in 2018 or 2019. I was like, \u2018Okay, cool.\u2019 That s\u2014 went so crazy \u2014 it launched \u2018Truth Hurts\u2019 to the No. 1 song. A song that had been out for three years. From that one sync.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe hit marked her first Billboard Hot 100 entry and eventually became the longest-running solo No. 1 by a female rapper.<\/p>\n \n\tElsewhere in the episode, Lizzo spoke about writing music from pain, particularly her song \u201cSoulmate.\u201d \u201cI was crying in the studio when I wrote it,\u201d she said. \u201cWhen I sing this song in a year, this will be me. I will believe these words, but b\u2014-, I did not believe these words when I was writing it.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tAs for her new project Love in Real Life<\/em>, Lizzo described it as \u201ca diary of October 2023 to November 2024.\u201d She added, \u201cThere\u2019s not one album that wasn\u2019t directly impacting my personal life\u2026 This time I wrote a song that doesn\u2019t have a happy ending.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tShe also addressed the emotional toll of viral fame. \u201cAll viral aint good viral. The internet don\u2019t know that they think all viral is good viral. It\u2019s not.\u201d Jake added, \u201cIt\u2019s like all press is good press, it\u2019s like no.\u201d <\/p>\n \n\tLizzo added, \u201cSometimes when my videos going viral, I have an anxiety attack\u2026 And I\u2019ll be like \u2018oh f\u2014, what did I do wrong. I did something wrong, because I don\u2019t read comments anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tNoting it had been \u201ctwo years\u201d since she had read social media comments, she continued, \u201cI never scrolled through my comments because that\u2019s hell, but I saw TikTok comments got so mean. You know when I really stopped after the very backhanded compliments trend.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe Therapuss<\/em> interview also touched on Lizzo\u2019s decision to stop using dating apps (\u201cI got kicked off Hinge for impersonating a celebrity \u2014 it was me\u201d) and the heartbreak of disappointing a fan during a meet-and-greet while exhausted on tour. \u201cThat was my first time realizing: Oh wow, there can be misconceptions and you\u2019re not in control of it.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tLizzo\u2019s Love in Real Life<\/em> is expected later this year.<\/p>\n
