R&B singer and current reality television star Monica covers the recently unveiled cover of Rolling Out magazine.

Discussing love, music and her reality series in the issue, Monica reveals just why she chose the words “Still Standing”.

At one point discussing her relationship with rapper Rocko, Monica says “It’s hard to let somebody in. Rocko was the person I had children with. Rocko was the first person I did a lot of things with. I think for me, it just took time to see that he was being supportive, making sure that I’m comfortable in every way,” Monica tells Rolling Out. “I need to acknowledge that and see him as someone that God brought into my life for a reason. Now … I just learn from what took place [in the past] and every day I say ‘I love you.’ When you lose somebody you recognize the little bitty stuff. If he likes chocolate thunder from Outback, it becomes more important to you. So I think I love better because of what happened, because you don’t know when a person may not be there.”
