Background
editIn 2023, she was scheduled to embark on her Fun While It Lasted Tour. However, she announced the tour was canceled on February 1, 2023, citing she no longer felt "mentally healthy or resilient enough to go back on tour yet" and forced herself to take a break for her mental health.[1][2] On June 21, 2024, she gave her first live performance in over a year where she performed "Moral of the Story" with Niall Horan during his Saratoga Springs stop on his tour.[3]
A week later on June 27, 2024, she announced her new album "Willson" would release on September 6, 2024, and is her first album being an independent artist. The lead single from the album, "Running Out of Time", was released on June 28, 2024.[4] She released her second and third singles, "I Wanna Love You (But I Don't)" and "I hope you die first" on August 2, 2024.[5]
