What’s the story behind H.E.R’s name?
H.E.R is pronounced “her”, and is a backronym for Having Everything Revealed. the singer revealed.
Addressing the secrecy over her identity, the singer told the LA Times: “The mystery is a metaphor for who I am, or who I was at the time of creating the project.
“I feel like oftentimes we don’t like to be open as people about our emotions or things that we are going through.
“At the time [of recording], I was very closed off except for when I was writing or when I was in the studio.”
She explained further: “I am a voice for women who feel like they’re alone in these situations. This project came from emotion, and that’s what I want it to be about – not what I look like or who I’m with, but the raw emotion and support for women.”
To NPR she said: “I feel like this is the era of the anti-star. I really just wanted it to be about the music, and get away from, ‘Who is she with?’ and ‘What is she wearing?’”
