Jackson also revealed that she's been teaming up with Linda Perry. The 59-year-old songwriter and producer had asked Jackson not to be vague with her lyrics.

[Perry] gives me a lot of s**t because most of my lyrics are very vague and sometimes fake deep, sometimes very Bright Eyes Conor Oberst. Like, it's a very specific thing that I go for and she just [says], 'Be more specific with your words because I can't understand what you're saying,' added Jackson.

For their collaboration, Paris Jackson stated that she and Perry decided to make music that is loud, fun, and "a little more specific."

Although her upcoming album remains untitled and without a release date at the time of writing, the singer hinted that it would be out "ideally this year."
