In the accompanying message, Fergie - real name Stacy Ann Ferguson - reflected on how far she's come. "I honestly didn't know what to post to mark this landmark number, so I started with a letter to my younger self.”. "Dear little Stacy, one day you'll be 50 and you'll be proud of yourself. You won't have it all figured out, but you realize... who does?”. “Success really is in the journey, and true happiness can be found in the smallest simple moments. Keep loving deeply with all your heart, and keep working on yourself. It always all makes sense later. I love you.". Fergie went on to note that seeing her name on the Billboard chart was a "beautiful surprise" and made her feel as if "my music means something".
