Bebe Rexha claimed to know inside dirt that could burn everything down in the industry. She wrote, "I AM frustrated. I Have been UNDERMINED. I’ve been so quiet for the longest time. I haven’t seen the signs, even though people constantly are bringing them up and they have been SO OBVIOUS. And when I have spoken up, I’ve been silence and PUNISHED by this industry."

Rexha claimed that her problems with the industry stem from sadness rather than anger. She mentioned that she was sitting in her hotel room in London while crying her eyes out. Rexha appreciated her fans for providing "strength" amid her struggles.

While Rexha refrained from going into detail, she did address a fan's statement on an earlier instance in which she contributed to the 2015 song Hey Mama by David Guetta, Nicki Minaj, and Afrojack without first being given credit as a featured artist.
