That’s a concept Marano admits she’s still grappling with. Years ago, she vowed to never sing another person’s song because she was convinced she’d never be able to connect to it. When it came time for her to start writing and recording her upcoming debut album, though, she agreed to hear songs written by other people, but only if she could be “really picky” with her choices. One that made the cut is her first single, “Boombox,” which arrives in March. She recorded the song last August after realizing it “fit” her sound, which she describes as such: “If Maroon 5 and 5 Seconds of Summer had a female love child, that’s this girl.”
“It’s pretty synthy. We were kind of going for the vibe of… do you know the Maroon 5 song ‘Love Somebody?’ Kind of in that vein, that vibe,” she explained. “Lyrically, it’s about finding that person who brings that special energy in your life that you weren’t used to — that makes you want to dance and feel good and just be happy and in the moment with this person.”
Ultimately, it’s exactly the kind of upbeat song you’d expect from Marano, who speaks with the enthusiasm of a camp counselor and whose optimism is contagious. It’s hard to imagine someone making the screen-to-stage transition easily, but she makes you believe she’ll pull it off.
