Have you ever felt like a background character in your own life? If so, Ava Valianti's "Laugh Track" will hit home for you.

"Laugh Track" is a new song by Ava Valianti. It is a kind of song that makes you stop while walking. It does not scream for attention. Instead it definitely whispers something that is uncomfortable, but true. In this song, Ava transforms quiet self doubt into something strong. But it is also unexpectedly freeing. "Laugh Track" carries the signature music style of Ava. Her emotional voice along with hypnotic melodies are inspired from Lana Del Rey. And the lyrical storytelling of the song is similar to that of Olivia Rodrigo.
Rather than being sad, Ava brings a dark humour to this song. In this song, she frames her own life like a sitcom, like “The Truman Show” and “How I Met Your Mother”. She questions if she is the lead character or just the running joke in her life.

"In this song, Ava reflects on what it means to feel misunderstood or miscast in your own story."
In "Laugh Track" Ava has balanced the emotional weight with its self awareness. Lyrics of the song deal with the fear of being a punchline to someone. It also speaks of the difference between our true selves and the one the world sees. "Laugh Track" is more of a revelation than a song. This song is definitely a reminder that sometimes the most powerful stories come from the moments we don't laugh off!
