Variety's Aug. 5 interview quotes Sombr saying he has lifelong "issues with eating," often forcing himself to eat before shows so he has enough energy to perform.
The 21-year-old said he wrote "My Body Isn't Ready" to be honest about his body image and to reassure fans facing similar struggles that he is "not always happy" with his own appearance.
Lyrics from the late-June single tie that struggle directly to intimacy and self-perception: "I want you, but the mirror won't let me."
Public scrutiny has sharpened the issue since his 2024 breakout—after a viral TikTok likened him to "Slenderman," Sombr called the backlash a "massive body-shaming hate train."
The disclosure comes as the rising pop singer builds on a No. 7 Hot 100 hit with "Back to Friends" and recent charting singles, giving his comments wider resonance with young fans.
