Lyn Lapid Announces Debut Album “BUZZKILL”, Shares New Song “i'll be happy when”
American singer-songwriter Lyn Lapid has announced her highly-anticipated debut album “BUZZKILL” will be released on April 25, 2025 via Mercury Records.
From the album, she released a new song “i'll be happy when” along with a music video on February 28, 2025.
The song is the third single off of the album, following “buttons” and “coraline”.
It was written by Em Beihold, Jason Suwito, Katelyn Lapid, and Nick Lopez. Produced by Jason Suwito.
The accompanying video was directed by Caro Knapp.
Lyn Lapid said of the song, “Wrote this song about wanting to feel like your company is enjoyed and doesn’t bring the mood down, yearning for meaningful friendships in the midst of surface level ones, and wanting a license & a car. It’s rough living in a new city.”
She added, “I’m listing all of these things I thought I needed to accomplish in order to be happy. It dove into wanting friendships with substance. I’m just wondering, ‘Will I be able to have these things? Is it even worth trying for, or am I too late?’”- The debut album comprises 12 songs and is inspired by the isolating experiences she had when she moved to Los Angeles from her hometown in Maryland.
Lyn Lapid said of the album, “Moving to the West Coast was a struggle. It was the first time I was in a new place by myself, and I didn’t know anyone outside of my roommates. I’d go to parties because I thought it was better than being alone. It was an attempt to find community, but it just became a cycle of meaningless interactions. Every time I went out with my friends, I felt like a ‘buzzkill’ because it seemed like I had always brought the mood down. However, it only seemed that way because I was with the wrong people. I needed to accept that I shouldn’t have to force myself to settle for surface-level friendships and relationships. It opened an opportunity to find new and truly meaningful connections and friendships.” - source : Apple Music
