She initially teased “Pray” on social media, debuting a snippet on TikTok. It quickly gathered over 20 million-plus views and inspired a staggering 36K “creates,” building anticipation for its official release among her devout fanbase. A soft piano melody sets the tone for the track, adding warmth to the soundscape. Anchored to a strong bass-driven beat, the momentum culminates on a seismic and stunning refrain as Lauren promises, “Wherever you go, I want you to know that I’ll pray.” Across the song, she showcases her expansive range, stretching from vulnerable verses into a vital hook.

Stay tuned for the premiere of a cinematic live performance video to accompany “Pray.”

It arrives on the heels of her recent fan favorite “small,” which received widespread critical applause. DORK hailed it as “powerful” and professed, “The raw and vulnerable track confronts societal pressures and body image issues through piano-driven melodies.” EUPHORIA Magazine noted, “the instrumental in the song is minimal, allowing her vocals to shine.” Stage Right Secrets praised, “With her powerful vocals and deep-hitting lyrics, Lauren resonates with listeners, encouraging them to embrace all the emotions and reminding them that they are not alone.”

After achieving stardom on her own terms from humble beginnings out of British Columbia with billions of streams, platinum singles, and sold-out tour dates, Lauren has quietly and intentionally honed her craft as a songwriter and her dynamic delivery as a vocalist. As such, she projects who she is without apology or compromise on “small” and more music to come very soon.

In 2023, she made waves with her full-length debut, Mirror. Of the latter, People proclaimed, “The record, like everything Spencer Smith releases, is a deep-dive into life, her love and heartache.” The Guardian promised, “Spencer Smith’s big voice shines throughout,” and DORK assured, “If you’re looking for someone with an incredible voice to put their arms around you, give you a big ol’ hug and cry with you then Lauren is here.” It boasts the platinum-certified “Fingers Crossed” and “Flowers” in addition to the standout collaboration “Fantasy” with GAYLE and Em Beihold.
