Why was it important to include a song like “What If”? And the word worthy is imbued in all of it. That’s where I’ve been in my life these last few years. Tom Joyner said this album is a perfect blend of message songs and love songs. Even the love songs are about how you want to be treated, how you want to treat other people. Then all the other songs started to take shape, being about respect. At that point, I knew what I wanted to say. The track “Worthy” is one of the songs that Joel and I created. It made me double-down on wanting to call this project Worthy and explore why she asked that question. I realized that I didn’t feel unworthy inside but I could see how I could be giving off that energy to others. When I did the interview with Oprah, she asked me how long unworthiness had been my calling card. For a while, it was resilient then authentic. It’s so potent and encompasses so much deserving of regard and respect. The title of the album was Worthy for a couple of years before I had any songs. What came first: the album title or the title track?
At a certain point I was like, “I’m ready to start putting these together into something.” And it turned into Worthy. Then I met Joel Cross, another songwriter, and we wrote a lot of songs. This one just started slowly taking shape with Aaron and I writing songs. That’s because I’m always working on the next record in my heart somewhere. I don’t know if I’ve ever had moments where I’m like okay, let’s get started. Was there a pivotal moment that led you back into the studio to record Worthy? And it feels good to have a chance to do it again.” In the following interview, she talks about Winfrey helping her “double-down” on her desire to record Worthy and a long-held fantasy that’s come true. I’m enjoying it more than I have in the past because I’ve been through a lot. Gratified by the success of “That Magic,” India.Arie says she’s happy “just having songs in the air.
