Lyn Lapid<\/a> has released her new single \u201cone good thing,\u201d out now via Mercury Records. The release arrives alongside an official music video and marks Lapid\u2019s first new single of 2026. Written as though she is addressing another person, \u201cone good thing\u201d is actually about the singer-songwriter\u2019s relationship with making music, using the unraveling of a relationship as a metaphor for the fear, attachment, and resentment she experienced toward her creative work.<\/p>\n

Lapid explained that the song grew from realizing her feelings about music went beyond creative burnout. \u201ci think my relationship with music was more than just burnout, it was simultaneously a feeling of fear and resentment that it was going to consume me as if being an artist was all that i am,\u201d she said. \u201ci hadn\u2019t known who i was outside of that for a while. i decided to write about that in \u2018one good thing,\u2019 speaking to my relationship with music and creating as if it were a person.\u201d The song\u2019s central idea examines pushing away something important out of fear before returning to it because of its familiarity.<\/p>\n

\u201cone good thing\u201d opens a new chapter following Lapid\u2019s debut album, BUZZKILL, which Mercury Records released in 2025. She subsequently released an expanded edition, BUZZKILL (forever), and took the project on a North American headline tour. Lapid has now accumulated more than one billion career streams, while her breakout single \u201cIn My Mind\u201d has received Gold certification from the RIAA. Her catalog also includes collaborations with mxmtoon, Whethan, Ruth B, and grentperez.<\/p>\n

Lapid joined Alex Warren\u2019s Cheaper Than Therapy Tour in 2025 after previously supporting Eric Nam, Ricky Montgomery, and Claire Rosinkranz. Kelly Clarkson later performed Lapid\u2019s \u201ccoraline\u201d as part of the \u201cKellyoke\u201d segment on The Kelly Clarkson Show, while \u201ctake me as i am\u201d appeared in the opening title sequence of Lionsgate\u2019s The Housemaid, starring Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried. Lapid has also continued her work with Ube Jams, the Los Angeles live series she launched to provide a performance platform for AAPI artists.\n<\/p>\n
