At just 15 years old, Siena Fantini is already establishing herself as a force in the world of pop songwriting, bringing raw emotion and diary-penned honesty to every track she releases. A Los Angeles native with a voice that dances between confident vulnerability and soaring melodic clarity, Siena has a rare gift for turning teenage emotional chaos into something beautiful, relatable, and undeniably catchy.
Her newest single, “the loved,” is a piano-driven pop ballad that captures the exact moment someone starts to fall—when every passing glance from the person they like feels like a silent question: Could they feel the same? It’s a feeling Siena knows well, and she weaves it into the music with unflinching sincerity. “the loved” is equal parts introspection and optimism, a modern take on longing that doesn’t wallow, but instead floats, buoyed by bright pop flourishes and soft, shimmering keys. There’s a refreshing maturity in how Siena expresses herself, not by pretending to have all the answers, but by being unafraid to ask the real questions.
Backing her on the track is a powerhouse team of music industry veterans. Produced by Sean Hurley—whose past collaborators include John Mayer and Lana Del Rey—the song has a polished, radio-ready quality that still manages to preserve Siena’s youthful honesty. Taylor Mackall brings an emotive touch to the piano work, while Harrison Whitford (Phoebe Bridgers) paints delicate textures with his guitar. Kiel Feher, known for his work with Selena Gomez and Lauv, adds rhythmic subtlety on drums, and Grammy winner Darrell Thorp ties everything together with a masterful engineering hand.
Though “the loved” may be the newest release, it builds on the deeply personal style Siena has already made her signature. Earlier songs like “wanna know her name” are ripped straight from the emotional turbulence of teen life, turning jealousy and confusion into pop gold. In “Michigan,” she captures the bittersweet magic of summer friendships and creative discovery, while “poptart” leans into quirky, hyper-specific storytelling with references to soda flavors and hazy Italian evenings. It’s this fearless willingness to be both whimsical and gut-honest that sets Siena apart from so many of her peers.
Her artistry doesn’t just lie in melody and performance—it’s in how she translates lived moments into lyrics that resonate. She grew up immersed in music, with training in voice, theater, piano, and guitar, and her songwriting reflects a lifelong relationship with expression. Influenced by the likes of Taylor Swift, Lizzy McAlpine, and Gracie Abrams, Siena channels that same sense of narrative clarity and emotional immediacy, but in a voice entirely her own.
Every one of Siena Fantini’s releases is a glimpse into her world—sometimes fun, sometimes heartbreaking, always real. With “the loved,” she steps even further into her promise as an artist capable of turning teenage vulnerability into something universal. Her songs don’t just reflect her growth—they are her growth, wrapped in melody, piano, and the kind of honesty that doesn’t need to scream to be heard. In Siena’s hands, coming-of-age feels like something you’d want to sing along to, even when it hurts a little.
