Lauren Alaina On New EP: ‘Sometimes You Gotta Release Your Feelings’

Lauren Alaina released a new six-song EP Getting Over Him on today (9/4). Alaina co-wrote every track on the new collection, which is an emotional take on getting over lost loves.

She told us of the new project, “The last couple of years of my life have been very interesting to say the least. I spent the last 10 years in the public eye. And I spent the first few years really working on myself and learning to love myself and becoming the person that I am now. I was 15 when I started out, so I was a child. And I became a woman and most of my music up until now has been about that. About coming into my own. And then I had a couple of really public relationships that ended very publicly."

She added, "And I wrote this 6-song EP called Getting Over Him about how I handled that. And I really kept quiet and I didn’t say much because when there are other people involved, it always makes me nervous on what the right thing is to say and when I’m in the middle of the feelings, I don’t wanna get emotional. I don’t wanna say the wrong thing from an emotional standpoint. So, I waited until I was healed, and I addressed everything that’s happened over the last couple of years. And it’s kind of my response of how I learned to love myself and continued to love myself when others didn’t."
