Lara Trump, daughter-in-law of former President Donald Trump, is no stranger to the spotlight.
Once an on-air commentator for Fox News, the former television producer now oversees media appearances and fundraising for the GOP governing body in her newly elected role of co-chair for the Republican National Committee (RNC).
However, the RNC chairwoman may soon be able to add “pop star” to her illustrious resume. The 41-year-old—who is married to President Trump’s son, Eric—is set to debut a song on March 29, titled “Anything is Possible,” per Breitbart News.
“This song, and those that will follow, have been a great creative outlet for me over the past several months. I have truly enjoyed every aspect: from writing, to recording in the studio, to tweaking the musical arrangements, and I’m excited to share my passion for music with the world,” Mrs. Trump told the publication.
“While my immediate focus over the next 8 months will be my new role at the RNC, I look forward to a time when I can jump back into this space… unfortunately all my fans in the liberal media will have to wait a little longer,” she quipped.
“Anything is Possible” was reportedly co-written and co-produced by singer-songwriter Stacy Barthe, who has previously worked with artists like Britney Spears, Keri Hilson, Ciara, and Cassie.
“We’re thrilled to present Lara Trump’s first original single, a testament to her journey as a hardworking mother, a powerhouse in cultural influence, and more importantly an unstoppable recording artist,” LJ Fino, president of First Class Label Group, told Breitbart.
“‘Anything is Possible’ is a page out of Lara’s diary and we are very proud of her work,” he continued. “I’m sure music lovers alike will agree that it is a fantastic record.”
Mr. Fino, who also serves as the head of music for Mailman Media, previously worked on President Trump’s “Justice For All” charity track, which features the J6 Prison Choir, a group of men who were imprisoned following the events of Jan. 6 at the Capitol Building in Washington.
‘I Won’t Back Down’
Mrs. Trump’s forthcoming single will mark her first original song. However, the track isn’t her first foray into music.In September, she released a recorded cover of the 1989 hit song “I Won’t Back Down” by rock musician Tom Petty, who passed away in 2017 at the age of 66 from an accidental drug overdose.
During his reelection campaign, former President Trump played the late singer-songwriter’s original track at a rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The business magnate was subsequently slammed by Mr. Petty’s family, including his widow and two daughters, who issued a cease-and-desist warning stating the then-president “was in no way authorized” to use the song during his campaign, per Reuters.
Nevertheless, Mrs. Trump’s cover swiftly became a chart-topper. In October, Forbes reported that the track landed in the No. 10 spot on Billboard’s “Digital Song Sales” chart. It also soared to the No. 2 spot on iTunes’s country chart, beating out Oliver Anthony’s viral hit “Rich Men North of Richmond.”
However, that same month, Mrs. Trump told Fox News that her song was largely hidden from listeners on streaming services like Apple Music, Spotify, and Amazon Music.
“It’s really sad because this is the kind of treatment ... that I think conservatives are used to. We are used to being censored; we’re used to being shadowbanned,” she said, adding that her song wasn’t played on the radio because “it was too political.”
Despite blowback from mainstream media, Mrs. Trump went on to release an acoustic version of her cover in November, leading her to take to X, then called Twitter, to once again voice her frustrations about being restricted on streaming platforms. This time, she claimed Spotify had allegedly stalled to approve her second single.
