On her new single "Bodybag," the singer-songwriter reclaims her heartbreak.It was tough to be in Los Angeles in March. For nearly three weeks straight, the famously sunny city was overtaken with heavy rains — and even a snowstorm at one point. But now that it’s finally stopped, Charlotte Lawrence is reframing the situation. “It’s caused all the mountains to super bloom. All the flowers are blooming,” she says, calling from Malibu, where she spent a good amount of her childhood.
Here, Lawrence details the story behind “Bodybag,” admiring her peers, and finding power in being vulnerable.I'm really excited about it. I'm so proud of this song. So, I couldn't be more excited. I would listen to it if I didn't write it, and feel so excited to put it out into the world.
Oh, completely. But, I think the curiosity overpowered the uncomfortableness and the pain of it, because I genuinely feel like we were so in it [together] and we were so deep in this. They were also the first people outside of my best friends and family that I shared this story with. And even more than that, they were random people. I met them that day.
This song really helped me heal, honestly. I do also go to therapy, as therapy is very important, and real therapy with a professional is important. But songwriting is also therapy for me. I'm a very extroverted person. I always want to have fun and talk and do crazy things and laugh and be the jokester of the group, but through that, I kind of bottle up maybe not as much fun emotions inside of me. It's hard for me to talk to my friends and my family about real shit.
Everything passes. All my first breakups when I was 15, 16, I was like, "I'm going to die." And it's not even an age thing. You can through heartbreak in your 50s, deep-rooted heartbreak, but you find love, or you move on, or you heal from it, and a few years later, you forget the feeling. Everything moves through.
After “Morning,” this is the first single off your upcoming debut album? How did you select this one as the one to be an introduction into that world?

“There’s a feeling now of, ‘I took my power back and I wrote about it and I figured out what I wanted,’” charlottelawr says about Bodybag. “It makes me feel strong.”
