Singer Hayley Kiyoko opens up about the struggle to turn her hit song “Girls Like Girls” into a “hopeful” story for queer teens.
, whom she began dating in 2018—she had no problem putting herself back in a more timid teenage headspace.
“I would have an interaction with a girl and then immediately run home and check their LiveJournal and see if they talked about it. I would psychoanalyze everything that they would write,” Kiyoko says about her own LiveJournal obsession in high school, adding that writing from that perspective helped her “understand my real-life Sonya more. I think growing up, beyond Sonya, I had many experiences with women where they just weren’t able to meet me where I needed to be met.
“I wanted to create the ending that I’ve always wanted,” Kiyoko says about Coley and Sonya’s summer romance. “I mean, they’re 16 and 17 years old, so if you’re asking me if they got married and had kids, I’m not sure about that. If I end up expanding the story, we’ll see what happens. But you know, it’s young love, and I think it’s really important to showcase joy and happy endings. My career has always been about igniting hope.
