Over the past two-plus years, the musician has processed and written through traumas she endured — largely as a result of childhood fame — for the lyrics of her vulnerable new albumThe Half of Itwhich found the star looking back on launching her music career at age 12 and its affect on her mental health and family life."I have lived a very interesting, special, weird life," she tells PEOPLE.
The road to success, however, wasn't without its bumps. In the midst of Beer's childhood, her dad Robert and mom Tracie became responsible for guiding their daughter through an unknown industry. Her younger brother, Ryder, struggled as a result. Growing up, the pair fought often — to the point where Beer anticipated they'd have a lifelong "distant relationship." But as they've gotten older, they've become closer. "He's one of my best friends," she says. "I honestly never though that day would come."
One of the reasons it took years for Beer to fully come to terms with her career's impact on her brother's life, perhaps, is that its effect on herself was even harsher. She's previously spoken publicly about enduring extreme online hate, including a nude photo leak when she was a minor.
