Speaking on a Vogue Beauty Secrets vlog, Paris acknowledged the role of music in helping her navigate difficult moments in her life.

"That was kind of the only thing that got me through the hard times before I got sober, was music," said the 28-year-old singer.

"When I got sober, it helped me be like, 'Oh wow, music really is everything. It really is like the air I breathe,'" she continued.

Paris admitted that although being a musician runs in her family, she was hesitant to enter the field.

"I was pretty scared to start doing music because I've kind of been playing guitar since I was 13 or 14," she explained. "And I just suppressed it as a hobby."

"In my like early 20s, I was like, 'I can't do this anymore. It's what makes me happy, and I just have to do that. Especially because this was before I figured out all the other things that made me happy," added the Zombies In Love hitmaker.
