As for how she's feeling about their big debut?

“I’m good, shockingly feeling okay,” she told Entertainment Tonight at the May 5 event, "and not too overwhelmed at the moment. At first, I was kind of like—tired but I’m excited."

"Maybe a couple videos," she confessed to the outlet, "but I can sing.”
