“Thank you, next‘ had originally planned to release new music after the Thanksgiving release of their new movie, Wicked, this year, but an unexpected break during last summer’s SAG-AFTRA strike meant they were able to record the album sooner than expected.
“When the strike happened, I went home of course to see my family: my grandma, my dad, my family,” she said. “Then I booked the studio for a week and asked the amazing Max Martin to come with me. We were in the studio for this week, just the two of us, and by the end of that week we had finished the five songs that are on this album.”
