The singer says she learned to accept herself, "flaws and all," while creating the album.

Pop princess Bebe Rexha has returned with her sophomore studio album, Better Mistakes. The record is the follow-up to her 2018 debut Expectations, and for this release, Rexha fuses genres from Pop to Rock to R&B to Rap. She recently caught up with Billboard to discuss Better Mistakes, sharing that the project reflects her growth as both an artist and a person.

“During the process of this album, I’ve gotten to know myself really well, and the person that I am," said the singer. "And I’ve learned to accept that person, to accept her, flaws and all. I think that’s the number one thing in life -- the acceptance within yourself, your failures, the good parts and the bad parts.”

Better Mistakes features looks from Rick Ross, Lil Uzi Vert, Doja Cat, Ty Dolla $ign, Travis Barker, Pink Sweat$, Lunay, and Trevor Daniel. Stream the album and let us know what you think.
