Doechii reflects on how she had to get over her ex to pen Denial Is A River:
Speaking with the outlet, the songstress reflected on how SZA's 2017 album Ctrl inspired her to write about the breakup with her ex. She said of how she had to pen her 2024 track, Denial Is a River:
"Sometimes I have to process things before I can talk about them, because if I try to do it immediately, I’m gonna say the wrong thing. But that song took me a year to process."
She also noted that she didn't want to give her ex any of the "promo in my music."
"And I talked about three different exes in that song," said Doechii. "People think it’s just one! I decided I had to talk about it for me."
She also reflected on when her creativity had been "stifled" by her ex:
"I only felt that way once," Doechii recalled. "I was 18, and I was dating a guy who just wasn’t very supportive of my music, and it really stifled me. I stopped writing because he was just like, 'That’s not cool.'
She also admitted to taking his "opinion way too seriously when really he just didn’t get it."
"I remember listening to SZA’s Ctrl for the first time, and it literally gave me the courage to break up with him," said Doechii. "I only bring that up because she inspired me to be vulnerable through my music in a way that I didn’t think I could be."
Doechii took home her first Grammy this February for Best Rap Album for her 2024 mixtape, Alligator Bites Never Heal.
