Her debut single was titled "Burnin' Out," which hit #5 on the Billboard club play chart. The "Burnin' Out" video, directed by The Black Eyed Peas director Patricio Ginsela, helped establish her as one of the newcomers on the scene. Soon after, Lauren released the club song "Dance With You" and "My Life Again" in succession, and accompanying her album My Life Again. Both dance singles went top 20 on the Billboard club charts, and Lauren continued to appear everywhere from Honolulu's famous Pipeline Café to clubs in New York and Miami.
