Reflecting on the challenges she overcame as she wrote What Was I Made For? she added, "And you know, it was exactly a year ago almost that we were shown the movie and I was very, very miserable and depressed at the time and writing that song kind of saved me a little bit.”

"And a year later and here we are and it’s really surreal. I feel incredibly, incredibly lucky. Incredibly lucky and grateful and you guys scare the living hell out of me — everyone in this room — but thank you so much. Thank you, this means the world," she concluded.
