The 24-year-old singer and actress talked about her latest song “We Belong” and her upcoming releases in a new interview with Sony.
“I feel like ['We Belong'] is more in the direction that I’m going now, than my previous songs. I feel like I’m really finding that sound. It almost gets broader and then it fine tunes,” she dished.
“I think that my sound is getting more specific, but also while I narrow in on what that is, I’m kind of trying things out still,” Dove continued. “My next release and the one after that, and then I have actually a collab coming, which I’m really excited about. I would say that they’re all more up-tempo than my previous songs.”
“‘Waste’ is up-tempo, but she’s a weird girl. It’s not like a typical up-tempo pop song, and I feel like ‘We Belong’ is a bit more commercial sounding,” she said. “Although, she’s still weird. All of my songs are always going to be a bit weird. I wouldn’t want to release them if they weren’t a bit weird.”

Dove Cameron is dishing on her songwriting process!
The 24-year-old “We Belong” singer and actress spoke out about what she does when she gets a song idea.
“If an idea strikes for a song, I use the Voice Memos app within my phone. That doesn’t happen very often, where a melody will come to me and I’m like, ‘Whoa, that’s a melody I need to record,’” Dove told Story + Rain.
“Usually, it’s words that come to me, and when it’s words, I have this weird thing where I don’t trust the Notes app,” she continued. “There’s no reason for it, nothing’s ever happened, I just don’t trust it. I feel like it could just go. I’m a crazy person when it comes to notebooks and I always carry a journal with me. It has to be a beautiful journal, something unusual that I’ve never seen before. I always carry a couple of very heavy-in-the-hand pens.”
“I have another notebook for just for lists of things. It’s full of to-do-lists, grocery lists, and things that I need to do before ‘X’ amount of time. I have another notebook that’s only an external schedule. I keep everything in those three,” Dove said.
Dove Cameron is opening up about her acting career.
The 24-year-old singer and actress recently talked about what kind of roles she wants to portray.
“I came to LA full of so much emotion, and what I would have said at the time, darkness—for a kid. And grit, and anger. I had so much to express. Then, I ended up playing these very, like you said, niche-y roles. ‘Characters’, almost. One begets the next, and then someone sees you in this, and thinks… that is totally how it works,” Dove told Story + Rain.
“Right now, I’m doing two roles that I feel are very much a departure from what I’ve done in the past. But when are those movies going to be finished?!” she continued. “I think the roles I’m interested in playing are roles that are more akin to real people, somebody, maybe, who’s had a similar experience to my own. It’s a very hard thing, breaking out of a niche, and it’s also a very hard thing to change an image once it’s established.”
“I want to play roles where I feel very exposed and very challenged, roles that I don’t feel I can hide behind. A lot of the characters I’ve been able to play are characters I feel I know how to do,” Dove went on. “I want to play something a little less linear, and I want to play something that maybe I’m nervous about. A role where I get to really be ugly. I really want to be ugly and stretch myself.”
The couple took a trip up to Utah for a little getaway.
Both Dove and Thomas shared a few posts on Instagram with highlights from their trip.
“puBliC NuDiTy iS ilLeGaL !! f–k the patriarchy celebrate the body !! get ur tits out!!!! 👽,” Dove captioned her latest post.
In another post, Dove shared a video of her riding a jet ski on what appears on the lake. There is also a photo of Thomas laying his head on her lap in their vehicle.
In Thomas‘ post, he shared a photo of the couple in the water, showing off his incredible body.
We’re so glad to see they were able to get away, it looks like it was so much fun!!

His first proclamation: offer a chance at redemption to Mal, Evie, Carlos and Jay, the trouble-making offspring of Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Cruella de Vil and Jafar, who have been imprisoned on the forbidden Isle of the Lost for 20 years.
These villainous descendants are allowed into Auradon for the first time to attend prep school alongside the teenage progeny of Fairy Godmother, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Mulan. Only time will tell if these evil teens follow in the footsteps of their wicked parents!
