Rebecca Black is currently working on a debut EP
"I'm not going to be just a one hit wonder. This is what I have wanted to do all my life and what I plan to do for my future. I'm determined and I don't think people realize how hard I've worked for all of this to happen. I'm not going to let the haters stop me. I want to show everyone, I'm serious," says Rebecca, who is currently working on a debut EP which is expected later this summer.

It's been a rollercoaster ride for Rebecca since on the one hand she's breaking records and getting shout outs from her idols, but on the other hand "Friday's” been dubbed the "worst song over," has more dislikes on YouTube than likes, and the world has essentially been Rebecca's biggest bully. "When I first read the hate mail, I cried. I was shocked and angry and sad. I went to my mom and was like, 'Oh my God they hate me!' How can they do this to a 13-year-old? Yeah, the song is simple, but is it worth all this hate? People were saying I should die or cut myself or get an eating disorder. It was hard."
But, thankfully in a weird way, this isn't the first time Rebecca had been bullied, and she knew how to handle it. "From kindergarten, I was bullied," she reveals. "There were just mean girls in my class. I'm not the type of girl that does everything to fit in. I like being different. I like dressing in bright colors. I guess I was an easy target. But my mom told me to just block them out and don't let them get to me and that's what I did. And that's what I do now. I have a thick skin. Now, I just laugh at it. I mean, they spend their day commenting on a 13-year-old girl's song, but at least I'm out there actually following my dreams and doing something."
That "something" is continuing with her vocal lessons to be in tip top shape, performing with her music theater program, keeping up her grades in school, and working on her debut EP on breaks from school and weekends, of course.
"Going into the studio has been amazing. I just want to prove to everyone I can do it. I'm not some rich kid whose parents paid for her to have success. That's not me. I want to be a real artist with a real career. The record is coming out so cool. I'm doing a ballad, a dance song with a little bit of a Latin flair to it. And, the lyrics will be a little more challenging. It'll sound completely different from 'Friday' because there's not a crap load of auto tune in my voice," laughs Rebecca.
