RAYE Feels Liberated Talking About Her Body Dysmorphia
RAYE shared on the Capital XTRA Evening Show with Kamilla Rose that she felt 'liberated' after opening up about her body confidence issues in her new single, Genesis.
The singer, 26, details her body dysmorphia in the tune, in which she also admits to editing her social media snaps.
Lyrics include: 'Yes, I edit my pictures to make my waist look slimmer / And make my a** look bigger so that I'm someone you aspire to / Let me in your algorithm, please.'
“I just wanted to be really transparent and really open on it. And we all think these things and we're all kind of battling with these things in our head. And I'll be the first to say who I am now, so I put this song out.”
“But you know, I'll take a picture and be like, "oh, it would look better if I was sucked in a little bit more" or "if my jaw looked a little bit less square in this angle," you know? 'It's just insecurities that we all feel about ourselves and stuff like that, so I think it's also quite liberating being so open about that.
'Because then it's like, "yeah, sometimes I edit my pictures, and…?" Do you know what I mean? It feels nice to say it.'
RAYE has been open about her mental health and last year she made a powerful statement when she stripped down to her underwear mid-show. She was on stage when she began to remove her clothing during a performance of her hit, Body Dysmorphia.
Her candid lyrics include lines such as 'I'm so hungry, I can't sleep / But I know if I eat /Then I'll be in the bathroom on my knees.'
