Lauren Spencer-Smith is poised to be the breakout star of 2022. With “Fingers Crossed,” racking up over 250 million streams globally and the already immensely successful “Flowers,” hitting #1 on iTunes, Top 15 Spotify, and Top 10 Apple Music in its first week alone, Lauren is unstoppable.
Today, the 18-year-old singer-songwriter shares the official music video for “Flowers.” It is a stunning visual that shows a young woman juxtaposed in two very different relationships – one filled with unease and raised voices while the next relationship presents a happier, healthier display of love. As the story unfolds, Lauren dazzles against a pale pink background, showing off her powerhouse vocals and lyrics about self-love and healing. Flaunt Magazine called the song, “the heartbreak ballad we need,” while People Magazine noted her potential, “things are just getting started for her.”
Details are at the core of Lauren’s craft, and she always writes from a place of perspective. Speaking on the process for “Flowers,” Lauren shares, “When I’m writing I always think about what’s going on in the world. How are people feeling? What are they going to relate to? I want to listen to a song and know what it’s about, that’s why I write with details about my life but always think, how will my fans relate? I want it to feel universal.”
Earlier this year, she shared her breakout single “Fingers Crossed,” a similarly personal song that resonated with millions — a snippet of the song had 25 million views on TikTok before catapulting to the charts, hitting the Top 50 on Spotify in 23 countries including Top 10 on the Global Chart, #2 in the US., and #1 in the UK. It also claimed the #1 spot on iTunes Overall Top Songs US Chart and peaked #1 on the Apple Music Global Chart, which was the first independent song of 2022 to do so. Currently, the song has over 170 million global streams.
Lauren is currently in the studio working on her debut project.
