Abstract
“Shooting Star” carries two layers of meaning in this EP. On one hand, it symbolizes the intense, heartfelt love and emotions we experienced in our youth—fleeting yet brilliant, like a meteor streaking across the night sky. On the other hand, it represents memory. Though those moments pass quickly, like shooting stars, they often reappear unexpectedly in the universe, reminding us of familiar feelings deep within. The message of “Shooting Star” is to cherish and document the present moment—to fully feel it without becoming attached to outcomes or chasing permanence. In this project, Laura takes on the role of producer for the first time, independently completing the production of all five tracks. Blending elements of pop, electronic, and R&B, the songs aim to create a dark yet cozy atmosphere—something to listen to when you're alone. The overall sound is warm and lo-fi, offering an intimate, immersive listening experience. This EP marks Laura’s official debut as both an artist and a producer. It is the beginning of a brand-new chapter.
