Latto Spills the Tea, Which Hit Song Was a Breeze to Write
Latto Spills the Tea, Which Hit Song Was a Breeze to Write
Latto, the powerhouse hitmaker of recent years, has been consistently churning out chart-toppers, with “Big Energy” catapulting her to stardom as her biggest hit to date. Collaborating with industry giants like Cardi B for the remix of “Put It On Da Floor” and teaming up with K-pop sensation Jung Kook for “Seven,” she has cemented her status as a force to be reckoned with in popular music. But what’s the secret behind her effortless creations?
In a recent sit-down with Hot 107.9, Latto peeled back the curtain on her songwriting process, shedding light on which of her hits came together with the least resistance. Surprisingly, the answer traces back to one of her earliest singles.
“‘Bitch from da Souf’ was like a lightning bolt moment,” Latto reminisces. “I stumbled upon the beat in a Bankroll Got It pack, and before I knew it, the lyrics were flowing in my Notes app. I hit the studio that same night, or maybe it was the next day, and just laid it down.”
However, Latto admits that the creative landscape has shifted since then. The pressure to deliver hits has mounted, leading to a tendency to overanalyze and second-guess herself. “I’m constantly chasing that free-flowing vibe I had back then, where there was no pressure, just pure creativity,” she confesses.
In a recent revelation, Latto shared her top three favorite female rappers of all time, causing quite a stir among fans. While icons like Lil Kim and Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes made the cut, the third spot remained shrouded in mystery as Latto opted not to disclose the name. Speculation ran wild, with many interpreting her silence as a nod towards her past beef with Nicki Minaj.
Could Latto’s ease in crafting hits be attributed to her early days in the industry, devoid of the weight of expectations? And with anticipation building for her next musical venture, are fans ready to embrace yet another smash from the talented songstress? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Lana Crow turns challenges into a celebration with “Laugh With You”
“Laugh With You,” the latest single from Lana Crow, is a sincere rallying cry to embrace life in all its messy, beautiful mess. In the song, indie pop and alt-pop combine to deliver an emotional blow that feels both personal and universal.
“Laugh With You” feels like an instant connection, and Crow is telling you stories of hard times with a cozy, knowing smile. This song is as much about struggle as it is about how strong you are. It serves as a reminder that these struggles are simply what give us the strength to keep going, even when life is tough.
Crow encourages people to welcome them, create happiness in the cracks, and laugh even as the world gets heavy. The result is a song that delicately nudges you to love and embrace yourself. It is an anthem for anyone experiencing tough times who refuses to give up hope. Lana Crow continues to demonstrate her songwriting skills, both musically pleasing and emotionally rich, with “Laugh With You.”
It’s a reminder that it’s how we respond to tough times, rather than how they affect us, that’s key. With this song, not only does Crow provide us with music, but she also lets us know that sometimes a laugh is what we need to remember that there is always something to smile about and that, even when it feels like life has waged war against you, laughter can still be found.

Lisa Boostani creates a mesmerizing tidal realm in “Ocean”
Lisa Boostani’s “Ocean” takes you deep into a sensory world where body, spirit, and myth come together, beyond the surface of genre. Boostani makes a soundscape that is both ethereal and deeply human by combining the broad essence of psychedelic pop with the strong appeal of alternative rock.
Her voice rises as if it is coming from deep within her, shaped by emotion rather than action. She intentionally channels the intangible, turning weakness into strength rather than a source of pain, and “Ocean” tells people to get involved in this inner world, not just watch it. This release is an integral part of her first EP, “One,” which will come out in March 2026 and is based on love, sensuality, and unity.
If “Ocean” is any indication, the EP will show sensuality not as something pretty, but as a kind of spiritual intelligence, a way to know yourself by connecting with others. The song’s textures and structure have an aquatic quality, moving between clarity and delirium, rhythm and freedom. Its emotional focus is on immersion instead of resolution.
The striking quality of “Ocean” is the blend of the mystical worlds. Boostani understands that strength often shows up as gentleness and that deep feelings are better expressed through frequencies than words. She wants people to see consciousness as immediacy, sensation as truth, and openness as an undeniable strength.
