“[‘Angel’], for me, was my climb out of those feelings, a mantra and promise to myself that the work I’m doing here on earth matters and that I matter. I wanted to be able to embrace and be proud of myself and who I am naturally through and through. I hope other brown and black girls and everyone in general feel embraced, respected, and inspired hearing the words of this song.”

In September, the singer also promised her debut EP would drop “before the end of this year”. However, the EP remains unreleased.
