The statement “based on true events” is a reassurance. The subtitle “a memoir” is like the “100% organic” sticker on a piece of fruit. Popular music, however, does not need these guarantees because they come built into the genre. Music is assumed to be autobiographical. A singer using the first person pronoun is not playing a role. Even if they state otherwise, their audience is unlikely to believe them.
