A melody discovered on the winding roads of Jamaica has become the starting point for “Chasing You,” the latest single from London-based artist Lauren B. Released on September 25, 2026, the track blends the vibrant feel of Afropop with a reflective story about the people, moments, and emotions that continue to occupy our minds long after they have passed.
For Lauren B, the song began with an unexpected moment of inspiration. While travelling through Jamaica’s hills in the back of a minibus, she found herself drawn to a melody that would eventually become the song’s chorus. It took another year for that idea to find its musical direction. When she finally heard the beat that accompanied it, she immediately recognised the connection, knowing the melody had found the right home.
The finished track carries the brightness of a summer soundtrack, but beneath its lively atmosphere lies a more personal reflection. “Chasing You” considers how emotional attachments can endure across distance, with the subconscious preserving memories and feelings even when the people connected to them are no longer close. Its contrast between an inviting sound and nostalgic subject matter gives the single a warm yet bittersweet character.
Arriving as summer gives way to a new season, the release also captures the desire to hold onto something beautiful for a little longer. Through its combination of sunlit Afropop and heartfelt storytelling, Lauren B turns a familiar experience into a song that leaves room for listeners to connect it with their own lives.
Born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in May 1992, and now based in London, Lauren B has long used creative expression to navigate her inner world. Naturally introverted, she has found a sense of freedom and belonging through music, dance, and art. These pursuits have offered her ways to communicate feelings that can sometimes be difficult to express otherwise.
Although her interests extend across several disciplines, dance remains her first love. Over time, she has also explored writing and illustration, developing two poetry books alongside her musical work. These experiences have helped her discover new meaning and purpose, reinforcing her belief in creativity as a source of personal growth and healing.
That broad creative outlook is reflected in her musical palette. Drawing inspiration from R&B, hip-hop, Afrobeats, lo-fi, soul, classical, ethereal, and Celtic music, she moves between styles rather than limiting herself to a single sound. The range of these influences gives her room to experiment while continuing to build an artistic identity rooted in emotion and self-expression.
For Lauren B, creating is about more than producing music. It is also a way to process experiences, explore different perspectives, and develop work that may offer something meaningful to others. This approach continues to shape both her songwriting and the direction of her wider artistic journey.
With “Chasing You” now released, Lauren B is looking toward a new phase of her career. Time spent in the studio developing fresh material has allowed her to experiment with different sounds, styles, and creative directions, opening up possibilities beyond her previous releases.
The forthcoming music is expected to reveal new dimensions of her artistry while preserving the soulful foundations that have guided her work so far. Rather than remaining within familiar boundaries, she is embracing the opportunity to evolve and bring more of her creative influences into focus.
Her background in dance, poetry, illustration, and music continues to inform that process. Each discipline offers another way to explore emotion and communicate ideas, supporting her ambition to create work that resonates on a personal level.
With more releases on the horizon, Lauren B is continuing to shape a sound and artistic vision that reflect her growth. In the meantime, “Chasing You” introduces listeners to a song born from a fleeting moment in Jamaica and developed into a thoughtful exploration of the connections that remain with us, no matter how far life takes us.
