NASHVILLE, Tenn. – (July 29, 2020) – Platinum-selling
singer-songwriter Lauren Alaina, releases
her new song “Run” on Friday (July 31), across all digital service providers.
“Run,” co-written by Alaina, Ben Johnson and Kennedi, is the first song from the
multi-award winner’s upcoming new EP, Getting Over Him, coming September
4.
“I wrote ‘Run’ with Ben Johnson and Kennedi,” said Alaina.
“We are all running. Constantly. Non-Stop. Even in this quarantine we are all
still the busiest we’ve ever been. Life just keeps going and going and going in
unbelievable paces as we try to race ourselves to the next thing. My idea with
the song was to refer to examples of all things that run because no matter what
your walk of life is we are all racing to the next thing. We are all trying to
get where we are going. We all get our hearts broken. We all have these
childhood dreams. We ‘run’ to make it all happen.”
“Music is my lifeline,” said Alaina. “Music literally pulls
me out of everything I ever go through [career,
heartbreak, family, self-worth, love] and I feel really empowered with
this music. I feel like this music shows my personal growth and my emotional
growth. This EP of songs is all about loving myself through other people not
loving me and not staying with me. It’s about me being able to get back to that
same confident girl I wrote about on Road Less Travelled and to hold on
to that confidence. I get to celebrate that with this music and I am so
excited. I can’t wait for the fans to hear it.”
Getting Over Him features two duets, including the title track duet with her
labelmate and friend Jon Pardi. “I’ve done duets with other people for their
projects, but I have never done any for my own,” says Alaina. “I’ve got a duet
with Pardi on his album, and then he loved this one [“Getting Over Him”]. His
energy is so amazing. I can’t believe I have a rebound song – but I do.
(Laughs).”
The Georgia native also enlisted International pop sensation
Lukas Graham to duet with her on her most vulnerable and heartbreaking “What Do
You Think Of?” “Lukas Graham’s vocal on
this is ridiculous,” said Alaina. “I am the most nervous about releasing this
one because I was so vulnerable when I wrote it. Most of my songs come from
more of a sassy and empowered place and this song comes from a really broken
place. But I think it’s important because it is a part of who I am. It’s a part
of what I went through. And if I am going to be honest in my music I have to
share songs like that too.”
