Leah Kate releases the ultimate post-breakup anthem, “Veronica,” but this time with a twist! By taking the cheater and other woman paradigm and flipping it on its head, the song creates an atmosphere of solidarity and empowerment alongside the “other woman.”
Funky strings and deep percussion introduce the track, and without much hesitation, Leah Kate chimes in with her rich vocals. Getting straight to the point, the singer illustrates her night out when she discovers her boyfriend has cheated on her. Rather than making the song about him, she elevates the other woman. A true sentiment to girl power, “thank you for the new best friend,” she sings. The repeating lyric “she seems like a keeper, maybe I’ll keep her” insinuates her future friendship with Veronica.
Leah Kate’s blunt lyricism and catchy melodies make for a relatable single that everyone will love. Her team describes the song as “the perfect summer anthem to groove to while kicking all of the manchildren in our lives to the curb.”
Leah Kate garnered popularity via TikTok and Spotify, where she went viral in over 40 countries with her banger “Fuck Up The Friendship.” She released the song without any label support and witnessed celebs such as Jamie Lynn Spears, Bella Poach, and Bella Thorne listening to it on their platforms. Recently, she was even profiled by Rolling Stone, who was impressed with her independence in the industry and the fact that she practically runs her own label from her bedroom.

“No matter what kind of song I’m releasing, whether it’s a disco dance pop song or just me on guitar, the lyrics have to matter and be very truthful to my life,” says Leah.
A true definition of a go-getter, the independent rising pop artist, practically runs a full-service label for herself out of her bedroom. She is her own manager, creative director, A&R, label head, artist, publicist, marketing strategist, all in one.
Her music feels to listeners like the 90s has met the 2020s – bringing a retro electro-pop sound that’s passionate, vibey, and brimming with a hopeful future. Her music embodies her “IDGAF” attitude, and her lyrics are relentlessly honest and relatable while being upbeat, disco, and reflecting 80s elements and influences. Bluntly put, her songs make you want to go out and be a badass. Although Leah’s been singing and writing songs since the age of 12, getting fired from her job (because she spent all of her time in the studio and not really at work) while living in NYC was the push she needed to begin releasing music professionally and full time.
With the help of her brother, the two started writing songs in their in-home studio at a super young age. The go-getter she is, Leah, at maybe 14-years-old, would email huge producers of major labels of artists she loved, trying to get them to produce the voice memos that she would freestyle. Her songs range in a variety of versatile topics, but the one thing they all have in common is that they are very truthful and reflective of her life.
“Veronica” will be released August 20th! Make sure to take a listen and let us know what you think by reacting below, or tweeting us @celebsecrets.
