On taking risks and redefining herself:
“‘Taste’ is the scariest thing I’ve done in a while,” she admits, referring to her recent single. “I didn’t know if people were going to like that for me. I thought they maybe had already decided, ‘You’re the girl who sings. You don’t dance like this, you don’t talk like this. You’re not sexy like this. You do a little one-two, and that’s where you stay.’ And so I had to be willing to jump.”
On growing up competitive:
“I was there to kill. I was so competitive. It was literally a problem. Like, ‘Girl, you can’t win every time.’ But I did them all.”
On the family motto that shaped her:
“Joneses don’t say can’t,” she says proudly. “[My family] taught us a certain tenacity at a young age that made us feel like we could do anything, even if it was difficult.”
On protecting her peace:
“I would never cancel on my therapist. She does not play about that shit,” she says with a laugh. “There is one exception though. I’ll be like, ‘Girl, Beyoncé called me,’ and then she’ll get it.”
On joining the ranks of Disney royalty:
“Obviously, being a princess would be so sickening. I already am that, so all I can do is put on the outfit. Like hello? I think of Halle Bailey and Ariel. That will change the course of the future, so I would love to be a part of that.”
From speaking her truth to rewriting the rules, Coco Jones is proving that betting on yourself is always in style.
