BY ELLA GAUCI
In a bold move that reaffirms her reputation as a rule-breaking and genre-bending artist, Lauren Sanderson has released her empowering single THEY WONT LIKE THIS today. The track serves as a wake-up call, encouraging listeners to embrace their authentic selves, even if it means facing judgment or disapproval from others.
Lauren’s anthem on self-awareness sends a powerful message about the importance of being true to oneself, regardless of societal expectations. The artist reflects on the challenges of navigating life while trying to conform to others’ standards.
With a refreshing perspective, Lauren said: “Sometimes we don’t realise how many people we are trying to be in life. Wanting to be liked and understood all the time will have you living in 100 different brains and bodies at once. I can’t be the only one who feels like I have to fight to find my most authentic self – but the truth is it’s not my responsibility to adapt to other people’s judgments. All I can do is be myself & trust the universe will do the rest.”
THEY WONT LIKE THIS is a two-minute journey that explores self-confidence and the inevitable feeling of being misunderstood. The track serves as a teaser for Lauren Sanderson’s upcoming third studio album, scheduled for release in the summer of 2024. True to her roots, the single concludes with Lauren’s signature inspirational outro, urging listeners to stop doubting themselves and embrace their inner star.
Lauren Sanderson has always been a vocal advocate for authenticity, creating a space for fans to be their true selves. From her early days, including a TED Talk at the age of 19, Lauren has consistently used her platform to inspire others.
So in the words of THEY WONT LIKE THIS: “Whoever’s out there, stop f*cking doubting yourself and be the star that you are.”
