Rising pop sensation Gracie Abrams has once again proven that her music is deeply personal, revealing how songwriting helps her process her emotions while navigating vulnerability in the public eye.
In a candid interview for Story of My Song with American Express, the 26-year-old singer discussed the inspiration behind her emotional track That’s So True, featured on her hit album The Secret of Us. Abrams admitted the song came from a real relationship experience that left a lasting mark on her.
“I feel… scared to talk about the bridge. We’ll get there,” Abrams said with a laugh, hinting at the emotional depth behind the lyrics. Despite her reluctance to name names, the Mess It Up hitmaker acknowledged that the song reflects a personal chapter of her life.
“I would never say the names of the people the song’s about,” she explained. “But I have no problem admitting it’s based on a relationship I was part of.”
The Grammy-nominated artist emphasized her careful approach when writing about real people. “There’s always a way to make someone aware if a song is about them. I try to be considerate and respectful of their experiences,” Abrams shared.
Fans were reassured to hear that the person who inspired That’s So True is doing well. “They’re all good,” she added with a smile — proving that Abrams’ brand of honest, heartfelt songwriting continues to connect deeply with listeners worldwide.
