It\u2019s done. It\u2019s kind of been done. It\u2019s a really good record. I put a lot into it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tShe went on to discuss her move from Los Angeles to London in 2019 and an illness. Though she didn\u2019t give exact details of what she suffered from, Love said that her body just \u201cexploded\u201d and that she was frequently in hospitals. \u201cI almost died,\u201d she said. \u201cI lost all my hair. I was about 100 pounds. And they told me I was going to die. I didn\u2019t believe them.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"\/>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tLove then detailed events from when she was a child, when she\u2019d \u201cpattern interrupt the adults,\u201d and how she thinks these memories influenced the record. \u201cThey\u2019d say red was blue, and then I\u2019d see blue. But blue was blue. So I\u2019d gaslight myself that maybe they were right, and red was blue \u2026and my head would explode. Like, fucking cope with that shit. I think some of you can relate to that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t\u201cAnyway,\u201d she added, \u201cI never really lost my ability to see that fucking red was red, despite them telling me that red was blue. And so when they said I was going to die, I just didn\u2019t believe them. And somehow I got better. I\u2019m healthy, which is amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tShe concluded the video by referencing Hole\u2019s last album, 2010\u2019s <em>Nobody\u2019s Daughter<\/em>, and how much it flopped. \u201cSpectacularly humbling,\u201d she said. \u201cLike, playing a Pizza Hut Park at 11 a.m. while Limp Bizkit was headlining with 30 Seconds to Mars.
