Lauren Presley Channels Y2K Nostalgia on Latest Single 'Trade Secrets'

Rising pop-rock star has released her happiest song yet.

Nashville-based pop-rock artist Lauren Presley is back with her most radiant release to date, 'Trade Secrets'. Fusing driving guitars, soaring vocals, and anthemic drums, the track is a euphoric celebration of love, delivering equal parts nostalgia and fresh energy.

“I’ve always been scared to write a love song,” Lauren admits. “But this is the happiest song I’ve ever written.” That honesty is at the heart of 'Trade Secrets,' which captures the dizzying rush of new romance against a backdrop of shimmering production. The result is a track that feels tailor-made for sunlit drives, late-night playlists, and festival stages alike.

Channelling the raw emotional power of Halsey and the edgy pop-rock spirit of Maggie Lindemann, Lauren blends her influences into a sound that feels both familiar and undeniably her own. With over 50 million video views and 10 million streams already under her belt, she’s fast becoming one of pop’s most exciting new voices.

Her breakout EP 'Hanging In The Balance' and viral single 'People Leave' made waves, while on stage, Lauren has begun building her live reputation with appearances on Today in Nashville and a growing national fanbase drawn to her fearless vulnerability and powerhouse delivery.

With 'Trade Secrets,' Lauren Presley steps confidently into a new era - one defined not by heartbreak, but by joy. Equal parts nostalgic throwback and bold pop-rock anthem, the single positions her as a voice ready to dominate playlists and stages in 2025.

'Trade Secrets' is out now.
