In an interview with Good Morning America in July, Goulding said the album is her most personal yet. The singer released Brightest Blue, her first album in nearly five years, in July amid the pandemic.Д«rightest Blue features the singles 'Worry About Me' featuring Blackbear, 'Power' and 'Slow Grenade' featuring Lauv. Goulding said she is 'excited' to be a mother but also remains focused on her music.

' I have a newfound respect for any woman who has children.' It's not always going to be easy,' she qualified. 'I'm not saying that every second of this pregnancy has been miserable. It's not always serene and like you're not always glowing,' the star said. I feel like it's a taboo to talk about pregnancy as being challenging. 'The sickness and tiredness was nothing I'd ever experienced before. Goulding shared other challenges of being pregnant. I think that made me keep it very secretive and made me very protective over it.' 'Because it wasn't something I had planned for right now, I knew it was a more solitary journey because of what's going on. 'You have your partner, and you have your friends, but in a pandemic, it can feel particularly lonely,' the singer said. In addition, Goulding said being pregnant amid the COVID-19 pandemic led to a lot of self-reflection and feelings of isolation. 'I started having a completely different body and different energy, I couldn't deal with everything!' she said. Goulding said pregnancy brought changes 'really quickly,' which affected her approach to fitness and nutrition. I want a better word than womanly, - I have curves I've never had before,' she added. 'Becoming pregnant kind of made me feel human. The thought of getting pregnant didn't seem like it could be a reality,' the star said. 'It was crazy because it was our one-year anniversary.

Goulding last made a major public appearance at the V&A Museum in August and said she found out about her pregnancy shortly after.

Goulding shared the news in an interview with Vogue published Tuesday.
