Rebecca Black, the singer who took the internet by storm with her 2011 hit Friday, is looking back on her journey and proving she’s more than just a viral sensation.
Now 27, Rebecca opened up about how the song unexpectedly shaped her career. “No one could have predicted where it would lead,” she told E! News’ Francesca Amiker. “It started as an experiment, and over 14 years, my perspective has completely evolved.”
While Friday became an internet meme thanks to its catchy—yet straightforward—lyrics (“Yesterday was Thursday, today is Friday”), Rebecca has never shied away from her past. In fact, she rejected offers to remove the track’s music video from YouTube, standing firm in her belief that embracing her beginnings is more powerful than erasing them.
“For a long time, I carried shame around it,” she admitted. “But through a lot of work and therapy, I realized—I didn’t do anything wrong.”
Now, Rebecca is stepping into a new era with Salvation, her second studio album, released on February 27. With seven tracks, including Sugar Water Cyanide and TRUST!, she hopes to prove her artistic growth and ability to create “powerful, timeless pop.”
Describing the album as “dramatic” and “delusional,” she shared that its title track is about “freedom, intuition, and finding your identity on your own terms.”
And as for those who still doubt her? Rebecca has one thing to say: “If people don’t believe in my passion and drive after all this time, I don’t know what to tell them. The music speaks for itself.”
