Lauren Watkins Renews Deal With Big Loud Publishing

Lauren Watkins has renewed her publishing deal with powerhouse independent publisher Big Loud Publishing.

“When I walked into Big Loud for the first time five years ago, I instantly felt they were the right team for me. What started in that room has turned into years of encouragement, challenge, support, and of course, hundreds of songs that were waiting to be written,” shares Watkins. “I’m so grateful to be signing a new publishing deal with Big Loud and to start this brand-new chapter with the same hardworking, song-loving folks who believed in me from the very beginning. I feel so blessed to keep writing songs under this roof.”

“Lauren is such a brilliant songwriter and we feel incredibly fortunate to continue working with her. She consistently writes some of the most compelling songs coming out of Nashville, and she’s only getting started. Her creativity, storytelling and energy are propelling her into a really exciting new chapter and we can’t wait for what’s next,” adds Katie Flynn, Big Loud Publishing Creative Director.

The renewed deal arrives as the Nashville native readies a new single – “Heartbreakaholic” will drop this Friday, May 15. Written by Watkins with Will Bundy, Nicolle Galyon and Rodney Clawson, the song offers the first glimpse at what’s ahead as she leans into the honest, self-aware storytelling she has built her name on. After touring with Zach Top, Riley Green and Lainey Wilson throughout 2025, she’ll bring her new music on the road with Dylan Scott and Luke Bryan in 2026.
