Background

Bennett's second solo single "Hurricane" was released on May 2, 2016, via Interscope Records. ^[1]

In an Instagram post on May 8, 2016, Bennett explained her inspiration for the single, saying "After G.R.L. ended I had no idea what was going to happen next, everything fell apart pretty fast. That's when this song was written. After seeing my mother suffer with mental struggles for years I then lost a friend to this. It has always effected my life in someway. We all at least know someone who has dealt with it or have yourself. This is a story to show from my eyes what it feels like to suffer from this but also the other perspective to lose someone to this." ^[2] It was later announced on Twitter that a portion of the proceeds from the single would be donated to The Campaign to Change Direction, ^[3] an organization dedicated to change the culture of mental health in America. ^[4]
