Lauren Alaina is known for her big personality, vulnerability in her lyrics and her amazing voice. Here are Tracks96.1’s top Lauren Alaina songs:

Road Less Travelled

This powerful anthem explores themes of staying true to yourself and is a great self-love country anthem. Lauren Alaina was dealing with her parents divorce, her father going to rehab and her own eating disorder. She created the song in hopes that it would uplift others and herself to “love yourself more”.

Doin’ Fine

Doin’ Fine is an amazing example of what modern country sounds like. With lyrics such as “Daddy got sober, Mama got his best friend, I've cut down crying to every other weekend” Lauren Alaina is brutally honest about her struggles in depth and was kind enough to ask for her parents permission before releasing the song. The song addresses her overcoming life's difficulties while also accepting them.

Getting Over Him

Lauren Alaina joins forces with Jon Pardi in a punchy, hot country hit called Getting Over Him which is also the same name as her recently released EP. This is the song that everyone needs to listen to after a breakup as it is an anthem of empowerment! Get familiar with this song because I think this will be a summer hit!
