Pop-rock duo Lavendine—made up of sisters Jacy and Jana Ayers—August 8, 2025 releases their most commanding single yet:“Who Cares If I’m Alone,” accompanied by a visually stunning lyric video. This isn’t just a song—it’s a reckoning. Born from betrayal and forged on grit, the track is a defiant stand against dependence, silence, and settling for less.
Crafted with Grammy-nominated Mark Needham (Fleetwood Mac, The Killers, Imagine Dragons, Stevie Nicks) behind the production and mixing, and vocal production by Ed Seay (Martina McBride, Faith Hill, Blake Shelton), Lavendine rips the curtain back on isolation—and turns it into a war cry. Because sometimes, the strongest, bravest move you can make…is walking away.
“We’re beyond grateful that Mark Needham got his hands on this song,” Lavendine shares. “It had been sitting in our archives for a while, but we knew it was something special—and Mark brought it to life in a way only he could. He tracked, produced, and mixed the song himself, giving it the gritty, unapologetic rock edge it always needed. This track is one of our personal favorites because it captures the essence of our journey—the pursuit of our calling, even if it means walking the road alone. It also showcases the rock-infused sound we’re passionate about and plan to dive even deeper into moving forward.”
Lavendine continues “When we were writing this song, we were in a lonely place after so many hurdles and disappointments. But somehow, it birthed a knowing—that we weren’t going to stop, even if it was just her and I standing at the finish line of our calling and destiny. We realized we didn’t need a crowd. We just needed peace. Even if that meant being alone.”
The chorus, quiet but commanding, lands like a mantra for anyone rebuilding:
“I’ve gotta find my way, (find my way)
A place that’s all my own, (on my own)
Somewhere you won’t be, and where you’ve never gone
Who cares if I’m alone.”
Fusing delicate piano, brooding guitars, and soaring melodies, the track builds to a cathartic climax—leaving listeners not in sadness, but in strength.
“This track—with its upbeat, tough mood and strong attitude—empowers the listener,” Lavendine adds. “As the honest lyrics unfold, they invite you to let go of what holds you back from your dreams. By the final chorus, it’s clear: everything will be okay, and sometimes it’s best to go alone.”
Building on the moody intensity of their past releases like “Waterless Cloud”and “Diamonds in the Sky,” “Who Cares If I’m Alone” takes a bolder step towards determination and freedom. Following the success of “Finding My Way Home,” which reached the AC Top 25 and hit #2 on the Mediabase AC Independent chart, this track breaks new ground.
“Who Cares If I’m Alone” casts a mysterious, exciting aura, leading fans toward the upcoming EP, Deep Blue. With tender lyricism and powerful musical landscapes, Lavendine delivers a message of resilience—inviting listeners to witness a transformation that is both beautiful and profound.
An intimate confession in the dark, “Who Cares If I’m Alone” mirrors the bittersweet process of moving on. Beautifully real, hypnotic, and intensely passionate, it stands as a heartfelt cry to embrace solitude and find strength within it. Lavendine reminds us that leaving someone behind might break your heart—but it will open your eyes. With more songs from Deep Blue on the horizon, they’re ready to turn heartache into healing, calling listeners to rise with them.

About Lavendine
Lavendine, the musical duo comprised of sisters Jacy and Jana Ayers, has made a name for themselves in the contemporary music scene with heartfelt, powerful songs that reflect their personal and artistic journey. They have garnered attention from outlets like American Songwriter, FAME Magazine, and Hollywood Digest, earning three Top 25 Adult Contemporary singles on the Mediabase and Billboard AC charts: “Rapture,” “Open Up a Window,” and “Here to You.”
Their 2022 single, “Finding My Way Home,” produced by Ed Seay (Martina McBride, Faith Hill, Blake Shelton) and mixed by Mark Needham (The Killers, Imagine Dragons, Stevie Nicks), marked a pivotal moment for Lavendine. Initially a ballad, the track transformed into a high-energy EDM-inspired jam that returned them to the AC Top 25 and climbed to #2 on the Mediabase AC Independent Rankings by January 2023. The song gained heavy rotation on Dash Radio Hits and saw a 7,800% increase in streams on Pandora AMP. This success earned Lavendine a feature on Jim Brickman’s national radio show, further cementing their prominence.
Born in Liberal, Kansas, and raised in Oklahoma, Jacy and Jana discovered their passion for music at a young age, performing in church by the age of four. Encouraged by their mother, they convinced their parents to let them move to Nashville after two years of college. However, without industry connections, they faced producers more focused on marketing than their artistry.
They returned to Oklahoma, finding success in ventures like opening a day spa and hosting a popular radio show. Yet their love for music never wavered, leading them back to Nashville to reignite their dream.
The sisters faced significant health challenges along their journey. Jana was diagnosed with a tumor near her brainstem, resulting in 80% hearing loss in one ear. Jacy endured multiple surgeries, including one for an ectopic pregnancy. Despite these hurdles, they remained hopeful and resilient. Their persistence led them to connect with producer Danny Duncan (Bruce Springsteen, Usher, Amy Grant), who embraced their sound and vision. With his support, they rediscovered their confidence and reaffirmed their place in the music industry.
Jacy’s vivid dream of balancing on the back of a flying whale, surrounded by rising waters, served as a powerful metaphor for Lavendine’s journey. It reminded them of the Biblical story of Jonah—a symbol of emerging from hardship. This imagery inspired their upcoming EP, Deep Blue, which represents the most authentic music they’ve ever created.
Recorded at Los Angeles’ East West Studios and mixed at Nashville’s Lala Mansion, Deep Blue features top session musicians such as Matt Chamberlain (Pearl Jam, David Bowie), David Levita (Tim McGraw, Alanis Morissette), and Jamie Muhoberac (Madonna, Seal). The project was produced and mixed by Mark Needham and co-produced by Ed Seay and Brian Pruitt.
The EP’s lead single, “City Lights,” embodies an energetic vintage rock flair, with lyrics that tell the story of finally coming home after being away for far too long. It captures the feeling of returning to a place that feels like home, full of nostalgia and relief. Other tracks explore themes of hope and empowerment, including “Waterless Cloud,” which addresses breaking free from narcissistic abuse, and “Diamonds in the Sky,” a song about leaving the past behind and reaching for a brighter future.
Their mission is clear: to inspire listeners facing challenges by showing that no matter the obstacles, it’s possible to achieve the dreams you hold in your heart.
“Wanna forget this pain and leave it all behind… I’ll be floating among the stars.”
