Kiiara Reveals Her Overall 'Gold' Message

(Radio.com) One of the new hitmakers to emerge this year is Kiara Saulters, aka Kiiara, who has made a splay with her hit "Gold," from her EP Low Kii Savage. And when we say "new" hitmakers, we really mean new: this summer, she played her first few concerts ever.

In fact, when she played Lollapalooza, it was her sixth show. But "Gold" was already a big enough hit that the audience was singing along. "Going from being in the studio when we recorded it, and now seeing people singing along, it's really trippy," Kiiara marvels. Even more trippy is the fact that she wasn't impressed by the song when she wrote it: "It was just another song that I wrote. I scrapped it, I thought nothing of it. I move on very quickly. It's wild that people like that song."

"The overall message I was trying to get across is that you don't have to answer to anyone," she says, explaining the lyrics. "Like, you don't owe anyone anything. That's how I was raised. If someone asks you something, you don't have to answer them." Read more here.
