Her hit "Build a B***h" was based on bullying she experienced as a child, according to Insider, and meant to empower people to feel more confident. Bella Poarch took to Twitter upon her first single being released and said, "This song isn't just any song. It means the world to me." She also told Elle about the song, "It has a really strong message about self-acceptance and loving yourself." Clearly she has a deep connection with the words she penned as the songwriter for her big hit, in addition to the pride of having achieved what she has at this point. This catharsis wasn't limited just to her first song, though.
Her single "Inferno" also has a powerful message. She said in a comment on the YouTube video, "Trigger warning: As a victim of sexual assault, this song and video mean a lot to me ... It's very hard for me to talk about. But I'm ready now. I decided to express myself by creating a song and video with Sub Urban based on how I wished my experience went. It's a fantasy I wish was true." Though it sounds like she's been through something horrifying, it's amazing that she is overcoming it through her art.
At this rate, it's safe to assume Poarch will continue to use her platform to inspire and empower her listeners through music.
