If we trade hearts, we could really understand how each other felt.

And, maybe if we could trade hearts I could understand why you lie to me or why you’re crying, or maybe you’d understand why I’m silent and why I can’t stand to be around you. Sometimes, men don’t understand women, and vice versa. A lot of the songs are about newfound lust or love or the possibility of finding something new-there’s a song called “Trade Hearts” that’s about, Maybe if we were able to trade hearts, maybe this would have worked. Through my experiences, people can find themselves and are able to relate and enjoy the music for different situations in their life.

Yeah…ĭo you worry that opens your personal life up to scrutiny, given that some exes might be well-known? Every single song on this album is real talk.

I didn’t want to call it 4, because that didn’t tell enough of what the meaning was to me. This is that time in my life, it’s a new beginning, the sense of completion of one chapter and the beginning of another. The number four is a sense of completion, almost.

In music, four is the number that every measure is-four by four, four beats to every measure. I could go down the list, it being so relevant in music. Why does it keep coming up in album titles? Beyoncé and One Direction both have albums named 4 or Four.
