In addition to it being a part of her legal name, there\u2019s both a sentimental and logical factor that play into the updated moniker. But, also, the now 18-year-old revealed that she\u2019s interested to have her Lily fame on a different page as her new EP <em>Drowned<\/em> goes public (out now), as she said:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Frances is actually part of my legal name\u2014it\u2019s my middle name, and it\u2019s after my mom\u2019s old family friend. I thought, one, it was a bit shorter than \u2018Aubrey Anderson-Emmons.\u2019 I do have a long, hyphenated last name. I wanted to switch it up and I wanted people to see a new side of me. And I wanted to create a space specifically just for music.

At least for the moment. As a fan, I\u2019m excited to check out this EP and support the change of pace for her. It seems to be a smart move for young multi-talented stars who want to dabble in multiple industries. <em>Stranger Things<\/em> star Joe Keery performs under his <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/pronounce-joe-keerys-stage-name-233000157.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:stage name, Djo;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\"><u>stage name, Djo<\/u><\/a> and has been very successful with it. Hopefully Anderson follows in his footsteps.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">She also opened up about her new career path, and that she has plenty of aspirations regarding the subject.
