Emerging pop sensation Lily Lane has unveiled her touching new single, “Where Have You Been All My Life.” The track delves into Lane’s introspective journey to explore her innermost being. It sheds light on the romanticization of trauma and mental illness, tracing the evolution of the artist’s persona and the myriad experiences that shape their eventual self.
Lane shares some raw insights about the single. “Throughout my life, many remarked on the soulfulness in my voice, attributing it to the pain and sadness from which I sang,” she says. However, she soon realized that her voice’s magic wasn’t tethered solely to sorrow.
“Sadness isn’t the only emotion in my soul. There’s a myriad – including joy,” she explains. This song uncovers a side of Lane, influenced profoundly by a significant person’s unconditional love, making her ponder why she didn’t discover this joyous side of herself earlier.
Renowned producer Taylor Sparks, celebrated for his work with names like Ryan Tedder and Kelsea Ballerini, had a pivotal role in shaping the track. He encouraged Lane to tap into the pop-punk genre, reminiscent of her early music influences. The song boasts of Lane’s signature robust vocals, memorable choruses, and grand production.
“Where Have You Been All My Life” follows the narrative started by Lane’s “Throne,” picking up where the song “Bad” and her 2022 EP, Queen of Hearts, left off. Lane has also recently delighted fans with her vivacious single “Woman’s Intuition,” in collaboration with Sophomore, Abigail Breslin’s music project.
The video is a delightful throwback, merging contemporary aesthetics with vintage vibes. It’s hard to miss the fun chemistry between the two, with playful antics ranging from singing into heart-shaped lollipops to twirling with glittery pom-poms.
Lily Lane’s rise to prominence in the music industry has been meteoric. An alumnus of NYU’s Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music, she champions body positivity, LGBTQ rights, and female empowerment. Her musical prowess often draws comparisons to the likes of Amy Winehouse. Moreover, Lane’s commitment to her craft is evident as she writes her songs and retains complete control over her publishing and masters.
Lane’s tracks have resonated widely, finding places in hit shows like Pretty Little Liars and Netflix’s trailer for Get Organized with the Home Edit. Esteemed platforms such as Nylon, Just Jared, and Earmilk have hailed her work.
Moreover, her live performances have won hearts at events like the OutLoud Music Festival, Winky Lux’s Unicorn Carnival, and renowned venues such as Madison Square Garden. With her songs racking up millions of organic streams, there’s no doubt that Lily Lane is making her indelible mark on the music world.
