Being born into a musical family, Barrett always wanted to make a career in the music industry. She had a music studio in her house where her dad used to make music.
Her parents also got her a mini toy studio as her first Christmas gift. The singer recorded her first song in the studio at four. She even wrote lyrics in her notebooks and sang in choruses as early as kindergarten.
Later, when her parents divorced, Barrett was raised in Galloway by her mother, where she had trouble fitting in. For starters, she was Puerto Rican in a affluent and white area.
Barrett felt like she was the only Hispanic student at her school because she was the only one who lived in an apartment with a single mother.
In February 2021, she jokingly tweeted about her childhood days, saying, "i don't know how else to explain my childhood other then i have a taurus mom and an aries dad. rip."'

It is safe to say Barrett shares a close bond with her mom. She shared a childhood video of herself and her mother in her 'Die First.' Dedicating the song to her mother, she captioned it, "Making this made me cry. This song is for my mom. Think about your family when you hear this song."
The TikToker even has a tattoo on her inner right arm dedicated to her mother. The ink reads, "I loved you at your darkest." Her mom also has a tattoo in the same place with a phrase that reminds her of Barrett.
