\n\tLola Young<\/a> just delivered a performance that cannot be ignored, helping Apple Music<\/a> launch its brand-new Music Room<\/a> series.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe British pop singer is the first artist to appear on the new performance series, which aims to give musicians an opportunity to reimagine their own tracks in a smaller, more private setting. The first look at her performance comes exclusively via Billboard on Monday (May 18), with a video of Young singing \u201cCan We Ignore It :(\u201d for a small crowd of fans gathered in Apple Music\u2019s studios in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter an extended instrumental intro that differs from the original track, Young raises her mic and lets her powerful voice rip in the video, the stripped-back setting giving a new resonance to her lyrics. \u201cI play with fire, kinda like the way I feel when it burns\/ If I\u2019m being honest, I\u2019ll take anything as long as it hurts,\u201d she belts, emotion saturating her voice. \u201cI need a doctor, got a sickness, and it\u2019s just getting worse\/ I said, \u2018I think I\u2019m dying,\u2019 he said, \u2018Darling, you\u2019ve been dying since birth.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAs the song picks up in intensity, the Grammy winner circles the small, carpeted room, taking turns singing straight to members of the crowd bopping along in their seats. \u201cI\u2019m not going to start crying my makeup off, but it was just a moment when you realize, like, art is really all we have,\u201d she says at the end, holding back tears.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cF\u2014 it, that\u2019s what I\u2019m saying,\u201d she adds. \u201cThat moment when I\u2019m hearing the music, and it\u2019s like, \u2018F\u2014, that\u2019s all I\u2019ve ever had.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tYoung also reworked several other songs from her 2025 album, I\u2019m Only F\u2013king Myself \u2014 including \u201cd\u00a3aler,\u201d \u201cPenny Out of Nothing\u201d and \u201cOne Thing\u201d \u2014 for the flagship program, with her full performance premiering on Apple Music<\/a> and YouTube at 2 p.m. ET on Tuesday (May 19). Fans will then be able to listen to recordings from the event compiled on an EP titled Music Room: Lola Young EP, available exclusively on Apple Music.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cApple Music has always aimed to bring artists and their fans closer,\u201d Rachel Newman, co-head of Apple Music, said in a statement about the new series. \u201cThere is no better example of that idea come to life than Music Room. It\u2019s everything that\u2019s pure and even magical about live music, unfiltered and unadorned. No spectacle or stage \u2014 just the songs and the stories behind them, shared like never before, the audience just inches away.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMore installments of Music Room with other guest artists are set to roll out in the coming months.<\/p>\n
