Lauren Ash shares raw and relatable new single ‘Diet Coke and Lexapro’

Known to millions as Dina from NBC’s Superstore and most recently as Lexi on ABC’s Not Dead Yet, Lauren Ash is back with her latest single ‘Diet Coke and Lexapro’, the emotional centrepiece of her debut album Call Me When You Get This, marking a bold and deeply personal musical debut.

With echoes of Paramore and “Gwen Stefani fronting Blink-182,” the track channels the chaotic clarity of a life-altering breakup, the kind that leaves you clutching for comfort. “It embodies the out-of-body experience of that kind of heartbreak,” Ash explains. The song’s title reflects her real-life turning point: cracking open a Diet Coke at 7am and taking her first-ever dose of antidepressants.

Sonically, the heartbeat-like kick drum mirrors the unrelenting anxiety that inspired it. From Madonna-esque harmonies to a chorus that aches with precision, Ash’s vocals are unfiltered, even breaking down mid-bridge in the final take. Vulnerable, visceral, and undeniably catchy, ‘Diet Coke and Lexapro’ is a fearless new chapter to Lauren Ash’s next act.
