Lauren Spencer-Smith “Fingers Crossed" Official Lyrics & Meaning | Verified

Lauren Spencer-Smith draws on her own experiences to write all of her songs, and the making of her heartbreak anthem “Fingers Crossed” was no different. “Every lyric in this song is an exact representation of what I went through with this person,” the Canadian singer-songwriter tells Genius. “The lyrics honestly came naturally. I just started explaining the story to my co-writers.”
After penning the lyrics with co-writers Francisca Hall and producer Jakke Erixson, Spencer-Smith uploaded a clip of “Fingers Crossed” to TikTok, where it immediately went viral. “Within 24 hours, I think it had like 5 millions views,” she recalls. “It was super nerve-wracking because I was like, ‘Are they going to like the [final] track?’” Of course, fans wound up more than liking the official version of “Fingers Crossed.” Since its release, the song has racked up over 80 million Spotify streams.

Yes her voice is so good because when she does the high voice it’s awesome

[@meh5552]

@@xxedits..4 Hey, I just noticed something. Lauren’s last name is Spencer Smith, so she must be almost related to Panic! At the Disco drummer Spencer Smith, so that means Lauren is signed to Fueled By Ramen and Decaydance (DCD2)!

Stopped in my tracks. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this song. I am 71, suffered a 20-year separation after a 32-year marriage that fell apart when he put our neighbor's wife into our marriage, but started as high school sweethearts. We never separated even one time. Finally, a song that shows how I have felt since my world ended.

Her voice is so beautiful. I want an acoustic or just live version of this song so bad. The whole thing because her voice on it’s own is absolute gold. It’s an AMAZING song with an AMAZING voice. Gosh I love it.

[@jerucells]

right i feel like the studio version lost alot of the emotional and raw elements that everyone loved, it was a little too pop-ish for me imo.

[@bad_karma102]

U can literally hear the emotions in her voice I'm glad she moved on even tho she happy and all her voice makes it sounds like she just went through it the lyrics are all so amazing 😍 She is now one of my favorite singers.

[@luci1893]

Hearing her explain this song, it's like she's explaining the toxic relationship i just got out of that lasted a little over a year :(

[@avu2888]

I desperately need an acoustic version of this song!!

[@eyesfullofstars13]

Her voice is so strong and beautiful! I was so surprised to hear her sing EXACTLY like she sang on the studio recorded version! I literally said OUT LOUD that my ears have been blessed. And she seems like an easy person to talk to; she was laughing and enjoying her time in the interview. I’m was a big fan when I heard the song, but now after this I’m an air conditioner! ❤️

[@theunmaskedtroll1925]

Love that she gave this her all and had no embarrassment without the backing track.
