UK pop-country singer-songwriter Laura Beckwith has announced her powerful new single ‘Unlearn’, arriving May 2nd. Drawing from personal experience, this is a raw and reflective track about the process of letting go: of old habits, of painful relationships, and of the things we once accepted as normal.
Since first making waves with her debut, Laura has continued to grow both sonically and emotionally. With over 750,000 video views and features across BBC Introducing, she’s no stranger to attention. But ‘Unlearn’ feels like a pivotal moment. It’s a song that peels back the layers to reveal something truly honest.
Written in the aftermath of a toxic relationship, ‘Unlearn’ explores the mental gymnastics involved in realising the love you knew wasn’t love at all. It’s about understanding that the way someone treated you isn’t the way you deserve to be treated. Over delicate piano and a swelling string section, Laura’s heartfelt delivery takes centre stage.
Honest storytelling with a cinematic sound
While Laura’s earlier releases leaned into upbeat pop-country, this time she’s taking a more cinematic approach. With orchestral flourishes and deeply emotional storytelling, this is a new chapter. Fans of Kelsea Ballerini and Freya Ridings will feel right at home here.
Importantly, ‘Unlearn’ marks a moment of growth. As Laura explains, this track helped her process difficult emotions she didn’t realise she’d been carrying. Writing it became a form of therapy, and she hopes others will feel seen through her words.
Backed by a subtle yet powerful arrangement, the song builds gently before reaching a stirring final chorus. It’s a moment of catharsis not just for Laura, but for anyone who’s ever questioned their worth.
With a string of successful singles behind her and growing international support, ‘Unlearn’ sets the tone for what’s next. This isn’t just a breakup song. It’s a quiet anthem for healing.
‘Unlearn’ is released May 2nd on all major streaming platforms. You can go follow Laura over on Instagram.
