Laura Frank Returns With Empowering New Single 'God Knows I Know'
In the midst of a massive 60 date tour across Australia, Brisbane singer/songwriter LAURA FRANK has today released her latest single 'GOD KNOWS I KNOW', a powerful, introspective single about pushing forward and taking risks in life. The track is the first of a string of singles yet to come in 2026, culminating in an album currently set for release in October.
Mixed and produced by Jordan Power (Xavier Rudd, Kasey Chambers, Dope Lemon) with mastering from George Georgiadis at Little Wing Sound (Gang Of Youths, Matt Corby, Kim Churchill), the track was recorded in Byron Bay's Hinterland, in a purpose built studio owned by legendary Australian artist Bernard Fanning. Written by Laura along with partner and creative collaborator Nick Morrissey, the process started as a conversation between the pair and was carefully built around the vocal melody, to ensure all the emotion in those lyrics was reinforced sonically.
"God Knows, I Know" came together in a really honest season for us. We'd been touring heavily through regional Australia, living in close quarters, juggling music, family and everything in between.
The song started as a conversation " the kind you have late at night when you're tired but thinking clearly. We wrote it simply, just the two of us, chasing the feeling rather than trying to be clever. When we took it into the studio, the goal was to protect that rawness. We built the production around the vocal rather than the other way around. If something felt like it was distracting from the lyric, it went. There wasn't a big dramatic moment in the making of it " it was steady, intentional and collaborative. Everyone who played on it understood that restraint was important. The process felt grounded. No overthinking, no chasing trends " just serving the song and letting the emotion lead." LAURA FRANK
The result is an uplifting, infectious track that showcases Frank's powerful delivery and vivid lyricism at it's very best. Musically, Frank explains the track "leans into a modern country sound with space to breathe " restrained where it needs to be, but building in intensity as the emotion rises. We didn't want to overproduce it. The heart of the track is in the lyric and the vocal delivery " it's conversational, almost like you're thinking out loud and then realising you actually believe what you're saying."
Lyrically, Frank says the track "sits in that uncomfortable space between conviction and doubt. It's about backing yourself when things feel uncertain " when not everyone understands your choices, your relationship, your path, or the risks you're taking. There's tension in it, but there's also clarity. At its core, the song is about trust " in yourself, in your partner, and in the quiet knowing that doesn't always need outside validation. It's not loud or defiant for the sake of it. It's steady. And sometimes steady is stronger."
Laura is currently on an extensive tour with Tom Curtain, taking on 60 dates across regional Australia. Laura is no stranger to the live circuit, supporting the likes of Daryl Braithwaite, James Blundell, Brad Cox, Melanie Dyer and many more in her time; and making appearances at festivals such as Tamworth Country Music Festival, Gympie Music Muster and the Groundwater Country Music Festival. To this day she has over 650k total streams & 20k+ social followers; and has seen strong radio support from the likes of Triple M Country and ABC Country.
