Grammy-winning singer Lizzo has a lot on her mind so it’s only right she pulls through to Apple Music 1 to dish it all out. The hitmaker pulled through for a deep dive into everything from her new Special album to working alongside New York rap heavyweight Cardi B with the legendary Zane Lowe.

Grammy-winning singer Lizzo has a lot on her mind so it’s only right she pulls through to Apple Music 1 to dish it all out. The hitmaker pulled through for a deep dive into everything from her new Special album to working alongside New York rap heavyweight Cardi B with the legendary Zane Lowe.

While the interview clocks at just nearly 40 minutes, kick back and check out a batch of key quotes from the chop up session and keep scrolling to watch Lizzo unload with some memorable gems.

Lizzo Tells Apple Music Why She’s Proud of Her New Album ’Special’…

I love this album. Come on. I'm very good at music, man. I would just say that. I studied music in college. I've written songs my whole life. I'm proud. I think taking my... I wanted to rush it so many times. There were so points….Woo. But in this process, I was like, "I got the album, okay? Let's put it out. The singles are done." And those songs didn't even make the album. So I'm just proud of how patient I was with myself and with my art. And I took the time to write the songs that need to come out, the stories that I wanted to share, that people should hear. I was rushing because I had “Hush”… I mean, everything I make is good, it just doesn't mean that it's the right song for the album. So I got bars, and I got some hot bars off and I got bangers, but... And I got some moody songs, I got some really dark songs too that didn't make it. But these are the songs that were supposed to happen.

Lizzo Tells Apple Music Love Is At The Heart of Her New Album ’Special’...

I think love is the heart of this album. I think everything I've been doing prior to Special was in pursuit of love. And it was like, Because I Love you was a almost autobiographical album about who I want to be. When I wrote Soulmate, I was crying in the studio, and I was like, "Okay, I'm writing a song about the person I want to be, I aspire to be." Truth hurts, I was crying in the studio, writing songs about who I want to be. And now, Special is almost a celebration of who I am right now, it's very present. And I think the only place love can really exist is in the present. You know what I'm saying?

Lizzo Tells Apple Music Why Releasing “Rumors” with Cardi B Was Selfish...

Well, in Rumors, featuring Cardi B, that was my f**k you. And I was so excited and proud to put that song out because I needed to do that. I honestly needed it. It was very selfish. I very selfishly wanted a song with Cardi for a long time, and I very selfishly wanted to be like, “B***h, all the rumors are true, whatever you want to believe about me, and **k you too." And I did that. And once I actually put that song out, I got a lot off my chest, Energetically. And I feel a lot of the songs on Special kind of came through after that. I wrote Special, actually, after I released Rumors and started getting a lot of... Being brought back into the cultural zeitgeist and after becoming famous and having the year that I had, it was interesting seeing how people relate to me and treat me and talk to me.

Lizzo Tells Apple Music About Receiving Criticism and Backlash Once She Experienced Fame...

I've noticed that once people knew who I was, because before it was discovery, it was like, "Who is this? Who is that?" And then once people knew who I was and it became kind of solidified, they became more comfortable with using me as some sort of punchline or joke, or immediately they want to criticize whatever I'm doing because there's levels to me that they don't accept. So I've found that I'm always going to receive some sort of backlash or criticism whenever I put myself in a public space, just because of who I am and the way I choose to exist. …it’s absolutely bait now. People use negativity as clout and attention, and it makes them feel good to get that kind of attention, which is… It’s very addictive. It is like an adrenaline, it's drug-like. And I don't know, I'm trying to distance myself from even looking at those people and reading those comments. It's been very difficult because I just feel I can't escape it.

Lizzo Tells Apple Music About Her Song “Coldplay”…

It's so literal. This is one of the most literal songs I've ever written. I mean, everything I say in the song actually happened. So Ricky Reed produced the track, and you know Ricky Reed. And we have a long relationship. I was in the studio, and I had just come back from a trip. And he was like, "Well, why don't I just play the piano loop, and then you just talk?" And I was like, "Okay." So I very Alicia Key's, You Don't Know My Name. I sat in the booth and was like, "So yeah. I remember when we went to Tulum, we pretended we were married. And I was talking, and I talked for like 25, 30 minutes. On that loop. And then I got really... I felt like, Ugh, kind of raw and sensitive about it. And I was like, "All right, let's just move on." And then he came back to me and was like, "Hey, all those words you wrote, I kind of turned it into a song.”

Lizzo Surprised By Coldplay’s Chris Martin Live on Apple Music While Discussing Her New Song “Coldplay”...

Lizzo: Wait. This is so crazy. Hi.

Chris Martin: Hey, listen. Are you good?

Lizzo: This is live?

Zane Lowe: This is happening right now.

Chris Martin: Yeah. I'm just at work. And Zane said, "Hey, will you FaceTime?" And of course I will, because I love you, and you're wonderful. Lizzo, you're doing so great. And you're taking over, and it's wonderful. How are you doing?

Lizzo: I'm good. Thank you. I mean, listen, the songs don't got to come out with me and you. We just got to do it. If we sat in the studio, and we just worked. You play the piano, I'll sing. Don't nobody got to know. Don't nobody got to know, Chris.

Chris Martin: Okay. I don't mind people knowing. Honestly. I'd like people to know.

Lizzo: Whatever you want to do, baby.

Chris Martin: No, we were in London. And we just came back from Glastonbury Festival. And it was amazing. It was so inspiring, so I came to the studio. What are you doing? You got a new record.

Lizzo: I have Special coming out July 15th. Thank you for giving me the blessing, the blessing to sample you in and name the song after your band.I was with somebody, and I was just looking at the stars. And I was with him, and I was singing it. And tears just were coming to my eyes. You have such an incredible ability to move people with the poetry of your lyricism. So thank you so, so much. It's so real.

Chris Martin: Hey, I don't know to accept those kind of compliments. Thank you.If someone had told me 22 years ago, "One day, Lizzo's going to make out to this song," I'd be like, "Okay, great.” It's become Lizzo's hookup song, and that's good.

Lizzo: Oh, that's baby making music, baby.

Chris Martin: I better go, because it's your interview. And I said everything that I wanted to say in terms of thinking you're amazing. 

Lizzo Reflects on Chris Martin’s Surprise FaceTime and Acknowledgment…

What a moment. How do I say this? It never gets... You never get used to the feeling of seeing people, who've inspired you, acknowledge you. Seeing him is kind of surreal, because it's like... Yeah, my sister bought Coldplay's first album when he came out and plays in the house, and you sing the songs. They're in your DNA, you know the music. I don't know what that means about me and who I am in my career and my life, because I'm doing my life. But I know that it never gets old, and I never want it to get old. Like, I saw Mariah Carey the other night, and I was like, "Wait, what? Mariah wants to talk to me?" And they're like, "Yes, Mariah wants to talk to you." And I'm like, "But this doesn't make... I watched you." And it's not a fandom thing. It's not like... Well, of course, I'm a fan. Because once you enter a sphere where you are in the same room as the artists who've inspired you, and not only are sitting next to them, they're acknowledging you and they're inspired by you. It's like, "I feel like we've known each other our whole lives.” "And I feel like we're family.” Even more in a macro way, art is a language, isn't it? So when you speak that language, it's almost like you're all sharing the secret language together. It's a beautiful exchange. That was so cool. Thank you for that.  My under arms are sweating after Chris Martin. Oh, s**t.

Lizzo Tells Apple Music About Her Song “If You Love Me”…

I've been on stage and as a big black woman, and I have this amazing platform and there's all these people in the crowd. And a lot of times it's, people who don't look like me in the crowd. I've gone through so much in this country and I try to reflect that in the crowd and inform them on my experience so we can have a shared experience so they can empathize, so they can help when it's time to hold us down, and to help us. I've had moments where I'm like, "You support me, you support a big black woman on this stage. You've bought my concert tickets. I want to thank you for that. But when you're in the world, I want you to keep that same energy from ...We're out there. If you can love me, you can treat big black women and people with respect out in the world, which I find does it happen very often? And I don't want to be like the token fat black girl that gets the respect. I want to be able to put myself in a position where I can make this experience of life easier for people who look like me. So that's why I wrote a song like, if you love me, you love all of me. It means so many different things. It's like me and all of the people who look like me, who come from places where I come from, like show us all respect. But also, if you love me, you love the fact that I look like this. If you love my music, you love this body, you love my personality, you love that I say b***h

Lizzo Tells Apple Music About Wanting People To Accept All of Her…

you know, I've, I've had the criticism that I'm not black enough or you know what I'm saying? Things like that. So I just find that people always kind of have exceptions with me. It's like, I love her, except ... I love her, but ... It's like, man, just accept all of me. What the f**k?

Lizzo Tells Apple Music That Music Is Her Therapy…

The very fabric of the journey is the music, I think. Music has been therapy for me for a long time, and it hasn't stopped. I mean, I have a therapist, but just because I got a therapist don't mean music didn't stop being my therapy, it's the number one outlet for me. So I feel when you listen to my songs, you hear in almost chronological order, my life, what I'm going through, how I feel, what's up.

Lizzo Tells Apple Music It’s Her Calling To Do Good...

I just want everyone to know that I'm here because I want to be here. I have not done anything in my career, and I stand by this and I'm proud of it, that I did not want to do. Like nothing's obligatory. I love touring. I love talking to you. I love writing the music. I love doing interviews where I can talk about the s**t that I made, that I'm proud of. I live for this s**t. I don't just make pledges to organizations and donate money to people because of optics or because I feel like I have to, ain't nobody else doing it. It's not a have to situation. I want to. This is why I was put here. This is my calling to do good and you ain't never going to see me do something I don't want to do, and you ain't never going to see me do something just for clout.

Lizzo Tells Apple Music About Activism, Using Her Platform For Good, and Supporting Planned Parenthood…

I've never really been somebody who liked just talking about stuff. I've always felt like, "God, if I'm saying this, I need to do something. If I'm upset and people are in the streets upset, okay, let me go out where the people are." I can't just sit around, but I think because of the position I was always in whether it was from a financial standpoint or a platform, I felt helpless. I was like, "Oh my gosh. What can I do?" And I think it's just as soon as I was able, as soon as I was financially able, and as soon as I had any type of resource or platform, I was like, "It's time. And it's almost like I've been waiting in the wings and then it was like, here's your moment. You have it. You can take action. So what's interesting is that Lizzolovesyou.com website, it's for my Juneteenth give back that I've been doing for three years, where every year we offer all of these prizes and giveaways, and we raise all of this money and I just give back to black organizations and businesses from the grassroots, like grassroots. It started in Minneapolis because this was when the George Floyd protests were happening and I was like, "What can I do right now where I can take this holiday that I've celebrated since I was little in Houston, Juneteenth, and give back to this city, Minneapolis, who has helped me so much and is in need, how can I help rebuild the community?” It started there and this year we decided to add Planned Parenthood to the list of organizations that we were going to be given money to. And this was before the Supreme court overturned Roe V. Wade. We just wanted to add them because we wanted to. Then when everything happened, when Roe V. Wade got overturned, I quickly had to turn Lizzolovesyou.com into a fundraising for abortion funds and for planned parent. So that's why when you go to the website, it is very like, it's actions. It's very actionary because we were already doing that for Juneteenth.

“It’s been brought to my attention that there is a harmful word in my new song ‘GRRRLS’. Let me make one thing clear: I never want to promote derogatory language. As a fat black woman in America, I’ve had many hurtful words used against me so I have overstand the power of words can have (whether intentionally or in my case, unintentionally). I’m proud to say there’s a new version of GRRRLS with a lyric change. This is the result of me listening and taking action.

Lizzo reveals secret to making platinum hits, using music as therapy and more

Grammy-winning singer Lizzo knows how to make anthems. The hip-hop powerhouse recently put together an epic media run to chop it up about her fire tunes with both Audacy Check In’s Julia and V-103’s The Big Tigger Morning Show.

Grammy-winning singer Lizzo knows how to make anthems. The hip-hop powerhouse recently put together an epic media run to chop it up about her fire tunes with both Audacy Check In’s Julia and V-103’s The Big Tigger Morning Show.

The Check In interview comes packed with gems

Lizzo didn’t hold back in either chop up session. Starting with Julia, check out a couple pulled key quotes and stream the entire conversation.

[:11] — “I feel like it’s ‘About Damn Time’ that a song like this comes out to the world. You know what I’m saying…I think life has thrown some major traumas and hard experiences at us, especially globally these last few years. I wanted to write a song that allowed us to take a moment and celebrate our survival and how far we’ve come, and I think ‘About Damn Time’ does just that. It does it for me, honey. It’s the last song from my album. I started it about two months ago. My album was done in my eyes, and this was kind of a Hail Mary song, because I didn’t have anything on my album that felt like ‘Good As Hell’ to me where when I’m on stage or having a bad day, I sing ‘Good As Hell’ and immediately feel better. I wanted to write a song like that, and that’s what ‘About Damn Time’ really is.”

[2:07] — “I think that music is therapy for me, for sure. I’ve always written songs. I’ve been writing songs since I was 9-years-old — writing poems and stories — writing was a form of escapism when I was a kid. I still do that now, except my escapism makes platinum records and makes me money. I use it in its purest form for myself, which is entertainment, escapism, and therapy.”

Lizzo comes clean on music as therapy with Big Tigger

Who says Big Tigger isn’t still putting in his non-stop grind? The legendary hip-hop personality links with Lizzo for a solid conversation on his morning show dishing on both plus size dancers to therapy. Check them out and keep scrolling for the conversation.

[11:50] — “I just got famous in 2019. I’ve been doing music for a long time and just became famous. I really had to come to terms with that. I think it was healthy to have that time…I’ve learned how to let [things] go, and the biggest thing I’ve learned is that your emotions are like the weather. It’s literally a wave. I used to be so hung up on my emotions, and then the wave crashes, and you’re like, ‘Okay, I’m better again.’ Don’t chase the storm.” 

[14:13] – “I’ve been looking for big girl dancers since 2014, and it has been difficult to find since 2014. I needed dancers more than I needed a T.V. show. If I had had dancers, I would’ve never taken the show, but I used this opportunity as a platform and amplifier so I can have the open call audition for big girls of my dreams, and I really got the chance. Thank you Prime Video for actually going to the corners of the country and finding true, raw talent, and good people. The biggest thing I gained from the show is I have dancers. I used to struggle with casting, music videos, tours, award shows. Who am I going to get? And now, it’s easy. That’s the biggest thing that I’ve gotten from this…Even now, I get goosebumps thinking about it. This is therapy for people. This is really helping to change people, and that is the biggest payoff.”

Grammy-winning rapper Lizzo has plenty to talk about these days - notably with a new Special studio album on deck and her ‘About Damn Time’ streaming, she pulls through with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1 to dish on everything from piecing together the new tunes and dealing with stress to the importance of 2022.

There’s ample moments in the entire conversation so as we await the full audio/video, check out key quotes from the chop up session.

Lizzo Tells Apple Music About Her New Single "About Damn Time”, Why It’s The Song of the Summer, and Why It Almost Didn’t Make Her Upcoming Album…

I'm made the song of the summer with "About Damn Time". I'm in my bag, and my bag is music. I'm good at music. It’s what I do.

“About Damn Time” can lead into so many conversations. It's about damn time I feel better, it's about damn time we get out this pandemic. It's about damn time we to get the first black female Supreme Court Justice. There's so many things. It's about damn time we popped the champagne. It's about damn time the tequila got here.

I have to give props to Ricky [Reed] and Blake Slatkin. I was in my diva bag on this one, because I thought I was done with my album, Zane. I was like, "I'm done, no more songs." Then they were like, "Yo, we think we got something," and I was like, "I ain't coming to the studio unless it's a hit.” They played a track, I heard the track, and I was like, "I'll be there in 10 minutes." You know what I'm saying? When I got there, the idea is disco was revolutionary for a lot of people, disco and funk. This was intentionally disco, funk, something to walk to coming out of this dark time. This was intentional, the genre of music.

Lizzo Tells Apple Music What She Hopes Her Fans Get Out of Her New Album ’Special’…

I think that the music really is going to speak for itself. I'm writing songs about love from every direction, and I hope that I can turn a little bit of the fear that's been running rampant in this world, energetically into love. That's the point. I had a lot of fear, and I had to do the work on myself, and this music is some of that work in turning that fear into love. I hope that when people listen to this album, it makes their day just a little bit better, a little bit more filled with love.

Lizzo Tells Apple Music About The Lyrics on “About Damn Time” and Lizzoisms…

I said "it's been a minute, tell me how you're healing. I'm about to get into my feelings. How you feeling?” Yeah, I don't think people realize underneath my songs, there is this challenge, this heartbreak, this problem that I'm solving in the music… that was the result of me sitting in the booth. We call Lizzoisms, and it's like, "How many Lizzoisms can I put in this song?”

Lizzo Tells Apple Music She Wants To Alleviate Collective Stress With Her Music...

I don't want to be stressed anymore. I think stress was the number one emotion in my vocabulary for the last few years. I'm already an anxious, prone person, and so I've been on trying to work on anti-anxiety. Breathing, and de-stressing my life, decluttering my emotions. But I think environmentally… Hello? When you add the stress of the internet on top of that, and this global connection we have? Now we're all stressed on a collective level. I don't want to add to that. How can I help that? How can I support feeling better?

Lizzo Tells Apple Music How “About Damn Time” Differs From Prior Release “Rumors” and Embracing Contrast in The Music She Releases…

I only want to make solutions. I got the vision for the solutions, okay? I made a lot of songs that were not like that. Even calling back to Rumors, Rumors was very selfish. I was like, "Let me get this off my chest, let me talk my shit.” I think Rumors was... It's cool. "Rumors" is just a cool song. It was also very personal. It was very micro, because it was like me, this is my specific issue that I'm talking about that people might not be able to relate to. "About Damn Time" was like, "We need it." I think I really crossed the bridge after. Thank god for "Rumors", because it allowed me as an artist, because I have to get that off. I have to scratch that itch as an artist, or else the songs that help the world won't come through. Lizzo Bangers was very personal, me, me. If I didn't do Lizzo Bangers, I wouldn't be able to do "Because I Love You". You know what I'm saying? Or "Good As Hell”.

Lizzo Tells Apple Music About Titling Her Forthcoming Album ‘Special’ and How It Represents a New Era…

Special is multipurposeful, and can mean so many things. Specifically, I wrote a song on the album. It's called Special, so it's named after... It's the titular song. The album was called 'In Case Nobody Told You' for a while, and then Max Martin came on and he helped me change the hook a little bit and restructured it. He was like, "Special, Special. The song is Special." I was like, "Okay." Then one day, I had this aha moment where I'm like, "Oh shit, the album is Special. Literally, the album is special, and I'm special." You know what I'm saying? I want the person to hear this to feel special. The way that you feel when you say that word is like... In Case Nobody Told You is cool, it has that same kind of dark… Everything now has this special feel to it, and this glow, this sparkle. Ever since that's the era I'm moving into. It's out of the darkness and into the light. I feel like the album is an incredible body of music, which was super important to me. I wanted to create good fucking music that actually was cohesive, and meaningful, and rich and lush, and I think people is... It could be a grower, it could be a shower. I don't care, it's good. Once people discover it, it's going to make them feel good and them know what's up.

Lizzo Tells Apple Music About The Album Art for ’Special’…

It's literally a suit of armor, and I think that's why even the album cover is so special. Because it is. I can't stop saying the word special now, but it's the suit of armor. It protects you, and it's a beautiful thing too. I have one of the most incredible creative teams, from styling, hair and makeup. We worked with these amazing photographers, it's the ABDM. Incredible photographers. I think they did my Variety shoot, and I was like, "I like y'all.” We got deep in our bag, and we were like, "We got to do iconic shit." Just clean, iconic, beautiful imagery is the most important thing in that photo. That wasn't even really what we thought the album cover shot was going to be, and then it just... When it was happening, people were like, "Whoa." Because I had my album playing, I had the album playing while we were shooting, and it was just this moment that synced up.

Lizzo Tells Apple Music Why 2022 is The Year of Her Dreams and Why The Future is Limitless For Her…

I want to focus on the girls, because that's what it's about, the dancers. Now we get to tour the world together. Yitty that's out, and I feel like the next 12 months, I don't even know what the limit is. Because these dreams that I've done this year, this year, it's 2022, I've been working towards for the last five years. This is the year of all my dreams, my biggest dreams actually coming to fruition. Now it's like, "I got to dream bigger." It's like when I think about conquering my biggest dreams already, the next 12 months are limitless. Bro, I'm not the cool one, I'm not the trendy one. I don't have a fear of losing relevancy. Just because at the end of the day, what is driving me is the quality of my music.
