Lauren Spencer Smith has released her latest track 'Thick Skin', following her second album 'The Art of Being a Mess'.

The song, available now via Island Records/Republic Records, explores themes of resilience and strength. Spencer Smith comments, "I wrote 'Thick Skin' during a time when I felt both anger and power. It's about realizing that every setback was actually building my strength - that what was meant to break me only made me tougher. My hope is that this song inspires people to embrace their resilience and recognize that true strength is the best revenge."
