She said that she has been feeling ‘anxious’ and ‘trapped in her thoughts’ while in isolation she penned the song in a bid to ‘heal her mind’.

The song began: ‘When I was little I would look in the mirror, holding in my stomach wishing that I was thinner.’ 

Suggesting it is something she struggles with, Maisie added: ‘Guess I had a case of body dysmorphia – and I still haven’t shaken it off.’
