We don't take ourselves too seriously. I don't think we're trying to be anything that we're not. We're not, like, trying to reinvent the wheel or anything.
You know, I try to avoid Googling myself, but sometimes I slip up. Sometimes I just want to see how the world is viewing me on a particular day.
I'm no diva but I can be annoying in a recording studio. Of course I try to be a diva in terms of confidence of performance and owning a song but I've never behaved like one in terms of the negative connotations of the word.
I love the studio. It's my place to escape and to create and to try anything.
It gets both crowds. People loved the beat of the song, and it's a lot of fun and flirtatious. When they got to see the video, they saw these are real girls having fun, not taking themselves too seriously. It actually turned out to be a huge summer female anthem.
Our group has evolved since our The Viper Room shows and has become a little more family-friendly, it's definitely more PG, ... So when we go on tour we just want to bring the same energy and the same excitement and the same performance level that we had at The Viper Room and just multiply it times 100.
We're on a wave, ... And we're going to ride it as long as we can.
We were lucky enough to work with Will, and that kid is a monster. He just came in, spit his verses and then got to work on the beat. And the whole time, we were like, 'Wow, we can't believe this is happening!' We're fans of the Black Eyed Peas for a long time, and we always wanted to do a collaboration with them.
When I think about eighteen months ago when this all began and how far we've come, I can't wait to see where we are eighteen months from now. It's also such an honor to have the baton of a number one song passed to us by an icon like Mariah Carey.
We're very sensitive about what we do, or don't do. We're sassy and classy.
I come from a strong religious background, and I had a very conservative upbringing. So I was nervous, and confused. Here I was wanting to be Whitney Houston, so why did I have to dress in lingerie to do that? I didn't get it.
I've never seen myself as sexy. I see myself as a goofball.
I'm definitely not the type to have a sing-off. I'm not catty like that. I sing for the right reasons.
I'm a strong believer in 'everything is meant to be for a reason.'
