LAUV & CONAN GRAY TEAM UP ON NEW SINGLE 'FAKE' + VIDEO OUT NOW
Today, PLATINUM-certified independent singer, songwriter, producer, and pop visionary Lauv joins forces with rising global pop superstar Conan Gray on new single 'Fake'. The single, which mark’s Conan’s first-ever collaboration, also covers Apple Music’s New Music Daily playlist. The music video, directed by Jason Lester (Madison Beer, Galantis, Quinn XCII), sees Lauv and Conan struggling to remain authentically themselves while being shuttled through increasingly more outrageous pop star settings. Premiered overnight at Times Square Viacom Billboard in New York, the video is out now worldwide - watch HERE!
Lauv says about the track “we wrote Fake the first time I met Conan and it’s one of my fav songs ever. I hope you love it.”
Conan added, “Lauv and I wrote Fake while we were just hanging and ranting about those two-faced people everybody knows. Those people who say one thing and do the other, people who constantly talk trash about their own friends. We wanted to make something fun you can scream in the car to, a song to flip a bird at those types of people."

This past Saturday, Lauv, in conjunction with his Blue Boy Foundation, hosted Breaking Modern Loneliness: Conversations on Mental Health. The series of virtual discussions were set up to strengthen mental health awareness for World Mental Health Day on October 10th. The discussions were comprised of panelists from around the world. Each panel was moderated by a representative from active organizations supporting mental health and community needs including, The Minds Foundation, Jack.org, and Ad Council.
Over winter, Lauv surprise-released the Without You EP, which featured 4 tracks that were all written and produced during quarantine with Amy Allen (Halsey, Selena Gomez), DallasK (Fifth Harmony) and Johnny Simpson (Christina Aguilera, Ava Max), among others. In conjunction, Lauv also released the quarantine made video for tracks 'Dishes' (HERE), as well as 'Lose Somebody' (HERE). The EP has surpassed over 50 million streams since its release.
Lauv’s debut album ~how i'm feeling~ released in March as a Top 20 album in 10 territories, including #9 in UK and #5 in AU, with over 2 billion streams on the album to date. Having quietly and steadily worked his way to becoming one of pop’s brightest rising starts Lauv has cultivated a loyal and adoring Australian fanbase not only reflected in his # 5 ARIA chart debut of his debut album and tour namesake ~how i’m feeling ~ but also through his hit singles ‘I Like Me Better’ (5 x Platinum and over 1 Billion streams globally), ‘i’m so tired’ with Troy Sivan (2 x Platinum), ‘fuck, i’m lonely’ with Anne Marie (Gold) and ‘There’s No Way’ feat. Julia Michaels (Gold).
Following on from his sold-out Australian tour last year, Lauv will be hitting our shores once again for the rescheduled ~how i’m feeling~ tour in 2021 which will see the young pop savant play at his biggest venues to date including Hordern Pavillion, Margaret Court Area and Fortitude Music Hall.
