There’s something about the way Laura Zoog sings that makes even heartbreak feel like a comeback. Her latest single “DNR” (short for Do Not Resuscitate) captures that too-familiar spiral of missing someone you know better than to want back—and turns it into a pop rock exorcism with a high-gloss finish.
The track arrives as Zoog’s third single, and it’s clear she’s settling into her voice as a narrator of internal chaos. Musically, “DNR” lives somewhere between the bruised honesty of Holly Humberstone and the beltable precision of early Ariana. There’s bounce and brightness in the production, but the lyrics stay sharp. “You can miss something without wanting it back,” Zoog says—and you can hear that tug-of-war in every line.
Originally trained as a stage performer, Zoog’s vocal delivery comes with theater-bred presence. After years performing on international cruise lines, she’s back on dry land and using pop as her new stage. Her voice carries a rare duality—vulnerable but grounded, wistful but not weak.
“DNR” doesn’t ask for sympathy—it offers solidarity. It’s for the situationships you almost believed in. For the late-night texts you wish you didn’t send. And more than anything, it’s for the moment you finally decide to let the feeling burn out.
