Im not holding anything back.

Theres the pretty and the ugly; theres the rage, the sad.

All of the things that Ive experienced in my life, this is the place to put them.

Its about several relationships in my life.

With collaborator Gad, Fergie said that she dumped out a bunch of notebooks to cull for material.

Hes like a male therapist for me, she shared.

I have no problem bringing all my stuff and dumping it on him.

Hes like, What do you want to go through?

And I emotionally spill over.

Laughing, she added, Hes like a soft blanket.
