Orlando, FL — Singer-songwriter, actress, and guitarist Kayleigh Calaway steps boldly into the spotlight with her debut single “Trust Me,” a vibrant pop track blending bright, bubbly instrumentals with emotionally charged storytelling. Released on Thanksgiving Day, the song marks the beginning of a new chapter for the 23-year-old Orlando-based artist as she pursues a full-time career in entertainment.

“Trust Me” was inspired by a dramatic and deeply personal friendship fallout earlier this year — one that pushed Kayleigh to reclaim her confidence, rebuild her world, and ultimately thrive. After a close friend suddenly turned cold, manipulative, and mean-spirited, Kayleigh found herself navigating a painful shift in a relationship she once held close. From being abandoned at social events to being shut out without explanation, the experience forced her to stand up for herself and walk away.

The moment she cut ties, everything changed. Kayleigh reconnected with old friends, formed new relationships, and rediscovered the joy she’d been missing. Months later, when asked if she remembered this ex-friend, she realized she hadn’t thought about them at all — a moment of clarity that sparked the creation of “Trust Me.”

Kayleigh dives even deeper into the song’s origins in a recent YouTube video, reflecting on the moment that truly sparked the track’s creation. “And that really sat with me,” she shares. “This person who dictated how my heart was feeling so many times and made me feel so bad–I literally forgot that they existed.”

She goes on to reflect on the friendship with a new sense of clarity, convinced her former friend likely believes they live rent-free in her mind. “That drives me crazy. I was like ‘I’ve never met someone as self absorbed as this person.’”

From that realization, Kayleigh’s creative spark ignited — transforming a painful experience into an anthem of self-admiration, growth, and total empowerment.

With powerful vocals, stacked choral harmonies, and a sparkling pop sound, “Trust Me” captures both the sting of betrayal and the triumph of moving on. It also sets the stage for what’s to come: Kayleigh’s next release is already planned for Valentine’s Day, part of her strategy to build a consistent following as she steps fully into her artistic career.

Having written and recorded music since the age of 8, Kayleigh brings years of passion, resilience, and storytelling to her debut. “Trust Me” not only introduces her voice — it introduces her vision.
