Needless to say, those two weeks sucked. I'd tell myself I was fine during the day, but then I'd sleep in his t-shirts and with the teddy bear he got me at night. I wrote a song about how the truth really only came out when I went out and was at the same bar as him," said Yanofsky.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.broadwayworld.com/bwwmusic/article/Nikki-Ys-Solid-Gold-EP-Out-Today-Via-A440-Entertainment-20160929|title=Nikki Y's 'Solid Gold' EP Out Today Via A440 Entertainment|author=BWW News Desk|access-date=October 3, 2016}}</ref>
