"I think its mostly just stepping into your womanhood," she said. "I knew I was going to call the album 'Girl on Fire' the minute that the song was done. It felt so right and accurate for what I've been going through and what I've been feeling.
"[The album] is really about finding your own passion, finding your own flow and standing in your own space. And just being fully and completely yourself," she said.
