But if it ends up feeling special, and it did, then I will,&quot; she said in an interview with Gayle King in <em>CBS Mornings</em>.</p><p>For Sabrina, songwriting is often her first step when making music. &quot;I have different processes. I think for me the thing that always jumps out the most is lyrics first, and concept,&quot; she said.</p><p>In the same interview, Sabrina also spoke about writing songs inspired by her relationships, saying she is upfront with her partners about her creative process.</p><p>&quot;I feel pretty transparent going into any of my relationships that I write songs... I think it&#x27;s also most of the time they&#x27;ve been pretty flattered when they get a song written about them, good or bad. I think they&#x27;re just excited to get a shoutout,&quot; she said.</p><p>She added: &quot;I am not scared of men in that sense... I think I will attract exactly who I&#x27;m supposed to attract.&quot;</p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-2" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DN7MFnejlZj/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=515&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A2%2C%22os%22%3A1344628.5999999046%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1053" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-2" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>Sabrina released <em>Man&#x27;s Best Friend </em>on August 29.</p><p>The singer took to social media to celebrate the milestone upon the release of her new record.</p><p>&quot;<em>Man’s Best Friend</em> is out now. how special to make something out of pure inspiration and zero pressure.
