She said, "This is a story I'm revealing for the first time on broadcast. But 'Voicemail' is from my experience, and all the lyrics are from my own experience. It's a song I made about one-sided love and being rejected, so every time I sing about it, I get sad. Since you are all talking honestly about your secret stories, I feel like I'm revealing my own secret story."

After the broadcast, she said, "It's a broadcast where I was able to talk about a feeling I never have discussed on broadcast before. I feel like I got healed."
