First love rarely arrives with instructions. Laura M. places that unsettled tenderness at the centre of “Fly Away”, a single.
At 15, the singer-songwriter frames the experience through a teenage point of view, letting melancholy sit beside the excitement of entering unfamiliar emotional territory.
The result matters because of authorship: this is Laura’s first song written entirely on her own, without a co-writer. “Fly Away” begins with the young writer’s own page.
Born in Vilnius and raised on the French Riviera from the age of five, Laura M. comes to “Fly Away” with a creative education that reaches beyond singing.
Piano, theatre and dance have been part of her development, while childhood stories and comics helped form an early instinct for narrative. She began piano study at nine with Daniel Jabot, and has written ten original songs in French and English, several already available through streaming services.
Her cited inspirations, sombr, Olivia Rodrigo, Miley Cyrus and Billie Eilish, locate her listening within contemporary pop’s intimate, youth-facing writing culture.
“Fly Away” marks a particular shift within that developing catalogue. Laura has written songs before, yet this one carries no co-writing credit, making the single a direct measure of her early voice on the page.
To fly away can suggest escape, distance or a wish to rise above confusion, but it can also leave a person suspended between attachment and absence. The title holds that uncertainty without forcing a neat answer.
The production places Laura’s writing inside a professional setting. Lithuanian pop-rock artist Andrius Mamontovas shaped the recording and assembled a team of young musicians that included his son, Andrius Jr., alongside fellow BIMM alumni.
The credits add definition: Elias O. Graversen performs keyboards, Viktor Velinov plays guitar and bass, Andrius Mamontovas Hällgren is on drums, and session violinist Eimantas Belickas contributes violin.
Laura’s vocals were recorded at Berliner Rockhaus in Berlin, while Arturas Pugaciauskas mastered the track in Vilnius.
Those details form a substantial frame for a first fully self-written single. Keyboard, guitar, bass, drums and violin offer a broad instrumental palette around Laura’s vocal perspective, while the work across several cities makes the record feel deliberately assembled.
Laura’s participation in a professionally mastered recording marks a new stage in her development, and the personnel give “Fly Away” a scale suited to that step.
The first encounter with love has its own proportion. Laura’s self-written approach gives that condition an appropriate form. The song does not require borrowed authority, because its point of view rests in the act of a 15-year-old naming a change in herself as it happens.
Her childhood interest in comics offers a useful way to think about this. Comics make emotional time visible through the space between panels, where a reader supplies motion, silence and consequence.
“Fly Away” appears to occupy a similar interval: the title points toward movement, while the tender and melancholic account of first love leaves room for reflection rather than a tidy resolution.
The studio design, with its credited players and multi-city production, gives that intimate idea a public form.
For listeners drawn to emerging singer-songwriters and carefully credited pop production, Laura M.’s single offers an introduction grounded in authorship.
It records an artist at the point where training, influences and personal writing begin to meet. Laura also works in French and English elsewhere in her catalogue, suggesting a writer already attentive to different forms of expression.
There is no need for inflated claims around a first self-written release. Its value lies in the clarity of the moment: a young artist has written about first love, entered a professional recording process and put her own name at the centre of the song’s creative account.
“Fly Away” leaves a thoughtful question in the air: when a writer’s earliest private feeling finds its first public form, how far can that new voice travel?
