As she prepares for the release of her debut solo project, Lauren Jauregui has been keeping her fans entertained with regular new releases. Earlier this month she shared the single “Colors,” and now she’s back with a Vic Mensa collaboration on “Scattered.”
The three minute and 38-second long song sees the two battle emotional demons as they sing about mental health.
“It’s essentially about my mind being scattered. Vic heard it and felt it. I loved the idea of having a male perspective on assessing mental health,” Jauregui said, according to Complex.
The 25-year-old was once a member of Fifth Harmony alongside Camila Cabello, Normani, Ally Brooke, and Dinah Jane. The group announced their split back in 2018, with the girls having dreams of pursing solo careers.
Jauregui’s first project on her own is to be titled Prelude. The release date remains under wraps for now, but with the singer dropping singles this consistently, it likely won’t be long until she’s ready to share more with the world.
Lauren Jauregui – Scattered (ft. Vic Mensa) (prod. Trevorious, Zaire Koalo & OAK)
[Verse 1: Lauren Jauregui]
Scattered
Like the leaves upon the wind when
Seasons must begin to change again
Shattered
Pointed shards, a heart is broken
Left in patterns on the carpet where she wept
Tear-stained face, I can’t face these
Demons all alone, they don’t like me
All night, they stay and eat like
They talk and they write in thunder and lightening
Gloves on, match met
God makes Her bet
That I’ll lay my head down again in this bed
[Chorus: Lauren Jauregui]
I think I might need some help
I don’t feel like myself
I don’t feel like myself
I think I might need some help
I don’t feel like myself
I don’t feel like myself
[Verse 2: Lauren Jauregui]
Scattered
Like the leaves upon the wind when
Seasons must begin to change again
Shattered
Pointed shards, a heart is broken
Left in pieces on the carpet where she bled
Bloodstained hands all around me
Hidden blades in a two-faced society
With sinister grins, they carve out their wins
From what’s left of my sanity
Gloves on (Gloves on), match met (Match met)
God makes Her last bet (God makes Her bet)
That I’ll lay my head down again in this bed
[Chorus: Lauren Jauregui]
I think I might need some help
I don’t feel like myself
I don’t feel like myself
I think I might need some help
I don’t feel like myself
I don’t feel like myself
[Verse 3: VIC MENSA]
Clothing scattered all over my single bedroom apartment
My drink splattered look just like the paint on a Jackson Pollock
My grey matter been havin’ me seein’ red, but regardless
I’m not just mad at myself, I’m mad at the world
My girl says I got trust issues, honestly, I fuck with you
It’s just I need the guts to say, “Fuck it” and open up to you
But it’s just open cuts too disgusting to be discussed with you
Too caught up in my emotions like Usher to confess to you
Caught up in my dreams and nightmares, demons don’t fight fair
Wakin’ up weepin’ from my night terrors, I’m actin’ light-skinned
Really dreamin’ of cryin’, I need me a Zion right here
Can’t see ’em comin’ down my eyes, so I write tears (Oh, oh, woah)
[Chorus: Lauren Jauregui]
I think I might need some help (I don’t feel like myself)
I don’t feel like myself (I don’t feel like myself)
I don’t feel like myself (Anymore)
I think I might need some help
I don’t feel like myself
I don’t feel like myself
