Laces – Open For Business

LACES, the artistic moniker of Jessica Vaughn, returns with “Open for Business” – a stunning and deeply personal alt-pop reflection on survival, self-compassion, and the messy, nonlinear path of healing. The single arrives as an anthem for those who have outgrown their survival mechanisms yet struggle to step into the unknown—reminding listeners that healing begins with embracing every version of oneself, even the fractured pieces.

“‘Open for Business’ was birthed in trauma and raised in personal growth,” LACES shares. “We build walls to protect ourselves, but at some point, those walls keep us from evolving. This song is about making friends with the survivor inside you—holding their hand and saying, it’s okay to try another way.”

With her signature introspective lyricism and lush alt-pop production, LACES crafts an immersive sonic landscape where vulnerability meets resilience. The song gently unravels the tension between self-preservation and transformation, creating an emotional release that feels both raw and liberating.

As a Billboard-recognized queer music executive (2021) and a formidable voice in the industry, Jessica Vaughn has built a career that thrives at the intersection of artistry and advocacy. Her music has been featured in Lucifer, Grey’s Anatomy, and major networks like CW, Netflix, and ABC, proving her ability to craft narratives that resonate deeply across audiences.

“Open for Business” stands as a call to embrace discomfort, to let go of expectations, and to find strength in being wholly, unapologetically yourself. There is no perfect way to heal—but LACES invites us to begin, with open hands and open hearts.
