Whether the song is about her mother Rachel, it leaves it open. “This is not an account song or an angry song. On the contrary, it means closing this situation, recognizing such patterns and hoping to help others with this.

Roxanne doesn’t want to look back as she approaches her thirties. “I find I’m at a point in my life where I want to look forward. I’ll be turning 30 next year and realize I’ve been in a lot of negativity and shit for the past 10 years. I made my decision to do it differently in my 30s. That means taking choices, but also getting power from the things that shaped me. They form a common thread through the songs I do now.

Roxeanne’s No Sorry will be released on Friday.
