The multi-hyphenate artist exclusively explained to Distractify that part of the reason her debut album was not released sooner was that she "just got so wrapped up in work."

"I wanted to release it 10 years ago," she said. "I was filming the TV show. And then I went on book tours, like, three times, and then I launched my makeup line, and everything was just so time-consuming. And then my makeup line just got so big."

She continued, "I just remember starting to resent it. I hated the meetings that we had about meetings about other meetings, and my life no longer felt like it was about the art. I felt pressure from a corporation to produce things that my heart wasn't in."

Kat explained that after Kat Von D Beauty hit the 10-year mark, she began to think about selling and cashing out to then focus her energy on what she really wanted to do: music.

Kat told us that she doesn't "have any regrets," but only wishes she released her album — which she sat on for 10 years — sooner.

"It was a lot of fun, great times, too," she said. "And it afforded me the ability to do a lot of things, but at the end of the day, it's like, if your heart's not in it ... what's the point?"
