Laura M. Gives First Love A First Draft In “Fly Away”

The most arresting thing about Laura M.’s “Fly Away” arrives before any attempt to overstate it: the single is the 15-year-old singer-songwriter’s first song written completely on her own.

It takes the tender, melancholy pull of first love and gives it the perspective of someone meeting those feelings in real time. “Fly Away” makes room for a young writer’s first independent statement.

Laura was born in Vilnius and has lived on the French Riviera since the age of five. Her early creative life has moved through singing, piano, theatre and dance, with stories and comics shaping her interest in storytelling from childhood.

She started piano lessons with Daniel Jabot at nine and has written ten original songs in French and English, several available on streaming services.

Her influences include sombr, Olivia Rodrigo, Miley Cyrus and Billie Eilish, names that place her near contemporary pop writing where intimacy often does the heavy lifting.

This single has a particular stake. Previous original songs establish that writing is already part of Laura’s practice, but “Fly Away” is the first composition with her alone credited for the writing.

It is an early frame, one that lets Laura claim responsibility for the words behind a first-love song at exactly the age when such feelings can seem enormous and difficult to file away.

Andrius Mamontovas, identified as a Lithuanian pop-rock artist, shaped the production and brought together young musicians, including his son Andrius Jr. and fellow BIMM alumni.

The record features Elias O. Graversen on keyboards, Viktor Velinov on guitar and bass, Andrius Mamontovas Hällgren on drums, and Eimantas Belickas as session violinist.

Laura recorded her vocals at Berliner Rockhaus in Berlin, and Arturas Pugaciauskas mastered the track in Vilnius.

That is a substantial amount of practical craft around a first fully self-written single. The listed keyboard, guitar, bass, drum and violin parts establish a live-player framework, while the Berlin and Vilnius credits place Laura’s writing inside a process with real studio breadth.

Her vocal recording anchors the release’s direct point of view. The production gives the subject room to land.

The title carries a productive tension. Flying away can mean stepping back from someone, wanting freedom, or simply feeling carried by a new experience.

Laura’s stated focus on tender and melancholic first love lets all three possibilities sit together. That openness respects teenage emotion without treating it as a passing joke or forcing it into adult hindsight.

There is a useful parallel in the way people keep drafts in their phones: a fragment typed late at night can hold more truth than a polished update shared the next day.

“Fly Away” has the appeal of that first draft, because it protects the closeness of a feeling before it becomes a story other people tell for you.

Laura’s writing credit becomes the release’s clearest signal.

Listeners searching for new singer-songwriter pop with a first-love focus may find the appeal here. Laura M. has a professional crew around her, a cross-city recording process and an established set of influences, yet the single’s defining fact remains simple: she wrote it herself.

That fact gives “Fly Away” momentum. It points toward an artist still growing, but already willing to put a private feeling into public view.
