New Jersey singer Lauriana Mae is gearing up to make her mark on the R&B world. Having yet to release a full body of work, the Atlantic Records signee is prepping for her first, a new mixtape titled Can’t Go Back. The project’s lone producer, Jack Splash, has written and produced for R&B heavyweights like Alicia Keys, R Kelly, Cee-Lo Green, John Legend, and more.

The song shows the singer getting the last laugh at people who’ve done her wrong.

“”LOL” is about them fake people that take your kindness for weakness and your silence for stupidity. I just seen a lot of that these past few years. Takes so much strength to love yourself more than they hate you some days. All I wanna do is be happy but some people don’t like that.”
