Many believe that the album will be her last. In a tweet in 2018, the star revealed that her then upcoming album would be her last. The award-winning singer added that her decision to do comes with a heavy heart but was a choice she had made after much thought and conviction.
I am preparing this new album with a lot of love and passion. The reason is that it will be the last one in my career. I am announcing this with a heavy heart but with a lot of conviction because I can't work in a field that is similar to mafias. I can't be productive anymore
