-Your single, "Wave"... -Yes.
-You wrote it three years ago. -Yes, a long time.
-Which is a long time ago. -Yes.
-And it released, but what was the inspiration
behind that song three years ago?
-There was this guy that was -- This poor dude.
I'm probably talking about him everywhere.
But he was like, "We can't ever be together
'cause it won't last."
But he'd be like, "I love you."
And I was like -- -Is that what he sounded like?
-No. Yes. "I love you."
And I was like, "Okay, why are you calling then?
Like, why is this a thing?"
So, I don't how to express myself with words,
so I wrote this song and I sent it to him.
And he was like, "Cool. Should I produce this?"
And I was like, "No, listen to the lyrics!
Like, this is for you."
-So you wrote it and sent it to him.
-Yeah. -Whoo!
-And then -- Thank you. Yes. [ Cheers and applause ]
Let him know. Yeah.
I've done that to best friends, to my parents.
I've written -- Like, if I have an issue or I love them a lot,
I'll be like, "Here's a song.
Here's how I feel."
But, yeah, I wrote that a long time ago as a ballad.
I produced it in my little rental house I was in.
And then, three years later, I was still working on this album,
and I brought it back from the grave and was like,
"To my friend Mike Sabath."
He produced it and turned it into this electro-dance pop.
And I begged him on the ph-- I was like,
"Please sing on the song!"
And he did, somehow.
And now it's, like, the most magical thing ever,
and I'm so glad I kept it alive.
-So, that's incredible, because you took inspiration
from your real life, made a song,
but then actually released the song.
You said you do that with a lot of family members.
Do you release all of those songs, though?
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
My last album, I have a mom song.
I have a dad song. -And they know it's about them.
-Heck yeah. My mom's in the mom song.
Check it out. You're gonna love it.
-I'm kind of, like, just like -- Has it gotten you in trouble?
-No, not yet. Well, once, yeah.
I wrote "Lips Are Movin'" about a guy who I worked with.
And that got back to him.
And I was like, "This was a secret."
And he called me. He was so mad.
And I was like, "But I love you,
and it got so much success 'cause of you."
-And I love that even though he got mad,
here you are talking about it all over again.
-I'm sorry! I hope he's not watching this.
-But, okay, so "Wave" was inspired by
a relationship you had, but that is not the person you married.
-No. -Correct?
The person you married is Daryl.
-Found my soul mate right after that whole catastrophe.
-Tell us about Daryl. -Mm, Daryl. He's here today.
He's back there. "Spy Kids"!
I am, like -- I'm his number-one fan.
We have his outfit my parents got him for Christmas --
his outfit that's framed up on our wall
from, like, "Spy Kids 2."
It's really cute and sweet. Yeah, they're cute.
They adore him.
And he's the most supportive human being ever
and the nicest guy in the world.
Like, you won't believe how nice he is.
-But you have a very interesting nickname for Daryl.
-Yeah, if you date or marry me, which he did,
you got to kind of marry my brothers, as well.
And we call him "Serial Killer," because --
Like, I'll be like, "Hey, suga," or some weird stuff,
but then, when we're talking about him,
it's like, "Serial Killer," because he looks crazy
in a lot of pictures, but, also, he does, like,
suspicious things that we're like, "Are you a serial killer
and we just haven't figured it out yet?"
Like, he'll go to the movies by himself,
but, like, not just one movie, like four back-to-back.
Like, solo dolo. By himself.
And then he never has sauce on anything, not even salad.
Like, just dry. -What?!
-And I, like, begged him like, "Just try this sauce.
Is it the wrong sauce?"
And he's like, "I like the grass taste."
And I was like, "You're crazy."
And, meanwhile, I'm like four dips, like, each one.
-So, when you're not accusing Daryl of being a serial killer,
you two are actually quite in sync,
because you dance a lot.
I actually have a clip I want to show.
It's adorable. -Oh, God.
♪♪ Get it, get it.
[ Cheers and applause ] Thanks, guys.
-I love how...
-I winged it.
-I love how you straight up gave up.
You're like, "I'm done. I'm done here."
-'Cause it was actually a Shaun T workout we would do,
because we were getting fit right there.
-So, you and Daryl have four amazing children.
Congratulations on that. -Thank you.
-And when I say "children," I obviously mean dogs.
You have four dogs, who are adorable.
Obviously, I can relate. -Thank you. I love this.
-Thank you.
But I have a picture her that I'm living for,
because if this is not a glimpse into my future,
I don't know what is.
-Like, what a daddy. Look at him.
-What's with the holder thingamabober?
-A lot of my dogs are small, and, like, they need to be held.
So I got these little, like, baby carriers,
and they were a hit.
And I was like, "Stand there." Like, this wasn't really posed.
I was just like, "Look the other way.
Like, look off into nothing."
-So this is a candid moment. -Yes, yes, yes.
-I'm obsessed. I'm living for this.
