She also confesses that many people around her didn't notice the seriousness of her problem. 'When I wrote this song, I felt like anyone I told about my addiction would question it because it wasn't life-threatening in their eyes. This song will take you on a journey of me and my self-worth. It is really showing you that I have come to a realization where I begin to understand what is truly going on with myself and that it really is an issue people start worrying about.' 

'Sick To My Stomach' by mercy, mercy announces her sophomore EP, due to come out later in 2022.
