Lara Trump Aims for Music Stardom with New Single ‘No Days Off’

NEW YORK, NY – Lara Trump, daughter-in-law of former President Donald Trump and former chair of the Republican National Committee, has launched her music career with the release of her latest single, “No Days Off,” on Friday. The track features Moroccan-American rapper Montana and is a mix of pop elements that aims to attract a wide audience.
Though Trump’s ambitions in music are evident, critics have noted the lack of originality in her new single. “No Days Off” follows a formula reminiscent of other reality TV stars turning to music, showcasing a basic dance beat and repetitive lyrics such as, “can’t stop, won’t stop,” and “work, work, work.” The heavy use of autotune raises questions about the authenticity of her vocal performance.
During a time when the Trump administration emphasized merit and talent, Lara Trump’s dual pursuits in politics and music highlight the ongoing influence of nepotism. As the wife of Eric Trump, she previously served as co-chair of the RNC while supporting Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign. After speculation that she might fill the Florida Senate seat vacated by Marco Rubio, she opted for a different path, launching a weekend show on Fox News instead.
Lyrics in “No Days Off” reflect her experiences in the media, with references to cable news that suggest viewers only see a curated version of reality. This is not Lara Trump’s first venture into music; her past works have faced criticism for their reliance on autotune and the vocals of established artists to enhance her performances.
One notable incident occurred when she recorded a cover of Tom Petty‘s 1989 hit, “I Won’t Back Down,” which prompted a dispute with Petty’s estate over its unauthorized use during Trump’s political rallies in 2020.
Montana, known for his lyrical skills, adds a contrasting element to “No Days Off” with a verse that has been described as the most engaging part of the song. The single’s cover art features the two in a pose reminiscent of the iconic movie poster for “Mr. & Mrs. Smith,” adding to its promotional appeal.
Despite the mixed reviews, the music scene remains abuzz with reactions to the collaboration. A representative for Montana did not provide comments when approached by Rolling Stone for insight.
Ultimately, while nightmarish reviews may overshadow her music’s release, the mere 2:23-minute track may carry less weight compared to the ongoing challenges faced by the Republican Party and its current platform.
