Lauren Jauregui comes out riding on new single "Ego"

Lauren Jauregui has come back on her own with a forceful musical statement that's impossible to overlook. "Ego" is her first solo music in more than a year since the reflective "Burning," and it's apparent that Jauregui is standing firm and self-assured in her artistry. Lauren Jauregui is not making a comeback, she's just simply going unfiltered and shameless, carving her own audacious lane in music. With "Ego," she reiterates that real artistry is something we feel.

Co-written by Jauregui, Alexsej Vlasenko, Marcus Lomax, Matthew T. Wiggers, and Oliver Peterhof, the track possesses a whispered delivery that feels rather candid. Like she's confidentially confessing secrets about desire, pride, or self-reflection. Wiggers, Peterhof, and Vlasenko's production supports her vocals seamlessly, creating intricate soundscapes that seem at once modern and ageless.

Jauregui strikes a balance between openness and strength, making for a song that resonates in more ways than one. Her previous fans will hear the emotional rawness and authenticity they have come to love, period, and new music listeners will gravitate towards her relatable lyrics, soul-baring voice, and experimental production.
