While interacting with a broadcasting company, Sabrina stated that she has to travel as she lives far from everyone. "So on the way back home after a night out, I'd put my music on. And when you're bumping your head, people don't come up to you, people leave you alone a bit more. So I was feeling more safe and enjoying my journey a bit better," she said.
