Life After Love, Pt. 1

"Life After Love,Part 1" is the third EP by American singer and songwriter Victoria Monet.

Background
Life After Love, Part 1 is Monet's way of processing emotions and disappointment she had to go through with a unexpected breakup. Even though she had to go through a horrible breakup during that time, Victoria decided to make it into music, and continue to fight for her work.

In a interview with Teen Vogue, Victoria was asked what inspired Life After Love, Part 1 and what the EP was about, she replied by saying "This project is the direct result of an unfortunate breakup I had with someone that I loved very much. We were together for six years. He was someone I worked with, lived with, and even shared a birthday with. I thought we were soulmates and that I couldn’t live without him, but this project says otherwise.Part 1 tells the story of the emotions I went through in order: the regret, insecurity, falling back in love, self-pleasure, crying, and coming to my senses. It’s very personal and anyone who has ever gone through a breakup can relate to at least one of these songs. I want to be clear though, that I didn’t want to release this project until I was sure that we both healed from it. As songwriters and artists we get a lot of attention and gratification when we write about the moments that have hurt us, and in turn, sometimes we'll seek out more hurt so we can write more things that people like. I chose not to let this project do that. Out of respect, my ex and I have talked about the fact that I’m talking about the breakup publicly and have an understanding for the creative healing process."
