is known for her open, introspective songs, the singer revealed a side of her on Tuesday that's been hidden to her fans for a long time.
In honor of Global Forgiveness Day, the singer released a new song called"make you," in which she publicly addresses the effects on her life after being raped at 13 years old. "It's gonna make you hate yourself / When you didn't hate yourself at all / It's gonna make you build a fortress / Where you never had a wall," she sings in the accompanying video, where she's seen belting the lyrics while sitting cross-legged on the floor.
"I believe music has the power to heal. The reason I decided to share my story at this point in my life is that I want it to be able to help a lot of people; and the best way to help people is to not only raise my voice, but to raise money in an effort to raise awareness and understanding," she said."I want to support programs that help girls & boys who may have been victims and support safety and prevention programs that aim to keep potential victims safe.
