On his Instagram story, Lewis wrote, “Guys I have spent the last 10 years or more writing and recording. It’s been the most incredible outlet.
“I had this incredibly beautiful and talented person reach out to me a while back, asking for me to be on her album. I had 2 hours to write the short verse and record.
“The goal was to have the music come out under a different name. So that you could hear the music first and later know that it was me.
“But it didn’t work out the way I’d planned. I shied away from acknowledging it was me. I don’t know why, maybe insecurities, fear, overthinking. Well, I want to say XNDA is me. I am so grateful to Christina for giving me a place to use my voice.
“I have so much gratitude and respect for her and what’s she done in the business.”
