In an interview with Billboard from July 2024, Latto spoke about her new album, in which she said,

"I feel like what I’m doing has not been done before, so let’s start there. [Aesthetically], I’ve been pulling from Mariah Carey, Beyoncé, and Lil’ Kim. Musically], I’ve been pulling from Kelis, but obviously with a Southern hip-hop twist."

She added:

"They have very feminine energy, but masculine in the sense of confidence. I feel like they was boss bi**hes. It just gave 'I'm that girl.' When you hear and see them in that prime era, it gave 'I'm here to stay.'"

Recently, Latto appeared for a conversation with Ebro Darden for Apple Music. During the conversation, she opened up about her relationship and called it "nobody's business."

She further mentioned that despite numerous speculations about who she had been with, netizens didn't know most about her love life, as of now. In the interview, Latto shared her choice of being private about her personal affairs, especially her relationship.
