Jenner, who is credited under her longtime alter ego “King Kylie,” spoke about her experience recording the song in a YouTube Q&A session shared on October 16.
“Well, you know, this is like my dream,” Jenner admitted.
“I’ve been talking about this since I came out of the womb. I wanted to be a pop star — or I don’t know who I was. But I never had the confidence.”
The reality star shared that turning 28 gave her the motivation to try something she’s always wanted to do.
“I think turning 28 affects you a lot,” she said. “I’m turning 30 soon, and I don’t want to look back and have any regrets, and this is something I’ve always wanted to try.”
While she made it clear that she’s not trying to compete with powerful singers, Jenner said, “I don’t think I’m like Adele or anything.” Instead, her focus was on the experience itself.
“I always wanted to try to see if I could do it. At the first recording session, I was so nervous. I had three margaritas — or vodka soda actually,” she joked.

“I feel like I needed that experience, which was also really fun,” she explained. “I mean, we took a lot of time working on this song.”
Jenner said she quickly became more confident when she heard herself singing.
“I was really nervous, but then, I think, I heard the first line, and I was like, ‘Wow, I sound like an angel,'” she shared with a laugh.
When asked if she plans to release more music, Jenner didn’t rule it out.
“I hope so. I’d like to try,” she joked. “That was so much fun. I don’t want it to end. And I think, why not? I think we should try. Let’s, like, make an album. And if we don’t feel like it, we’ll just listen to it ourselves.”
