And I think for Beautiful Chaos we kind of have a better understanding of that, like the unity we have together,&quot; she said.She added that their latest music mirrors the group&#x27;s current dynamic. &quot;I feel like the new music is very representative of that and like the relationship we have with each other currently and just how tight, and close, and like chaotic our friendship is with each other,&quot; she pointed out.
