'Pretty Little Liars' actress Lucy Hale has revealed that launching a career in music has been intimidating because so many people set out to succeed in the industry, but don't have a lot of luck. 

Speaking exclusively to Fox411, the beauty explained that it was incredibly daunting to release an album, but music has always been her first love:

"Country music is kind of all I know. I started in music and acting came as a surprise to me but I fell in love with acting and music kind of got put on the back burner. It's scary because there are so many people who have come before me and have failed and not done a good job, but for me I've always been a musician at heart - I want to be the exception."

Hale went onto add that she believes her natural ability as a singer will win people over: "I know I have a lot to prove and I know I have a lot of minds to change, but it's a really good challenge and I think when people hear me talk about music, see me perform or listen to the CD, I think they're like, 'Oh now we get it.'"
