While starting to make it big on Vine, Hanna worked for a marketing company that sold products out of a Sam's Club. She quickly became the top salesperson in the United States for the company, However, she departed from the company after realizing it was essentially a pyramid scheme.[9]

I honestly wouldn't even really call ["Monster (Reborn)"] a full song.... I didn't want to just tack it onto the song because it's an extra, like, two minutes almost. So I don't want to tack it onto the other song because I want that to live as a single...
