Leah Marie Mason (@leahmmason) is a Nashville-based singer-songwriter from North Carolina. Not too long ago, she released a new type of revengeful tune with “Cigarette Sober,” written by Mason, Robyn Collins, and Jason Reeves.

“Writing this song was an incredibly cathartic experience for me. It signifies a pivotal time in my life when I was finally able to take my power back by letting go of a relationship I had clung to for way too long. This song helps me realize my self-worth and inner strength, and I hope it speaks to other girls in the same way.” – Leah Marie Mason explained
“Cigarette Sober” unapologetically confronts the allure of forbidden temptations with an anthem for anyone who has broken free from the chains of a toxic past. Exuding an upbeat and melodic aura, Mason’s airy vocal tone takes center stage, infusing the track with heartfelt emotion. Mason sings, “You just want me like a temporary tattoo, but I’m permanent like a Sharpie in the bathroom.”
“Cigarette Sober” will resonate well with anyone who has experienced letting go of a toxic partner while demanding to be valued as more than just a temporary tattoo. “I’m not the kind of girl you can wash off in the morning,” Leah Marie Mason stated. “Guess you’ll have to live with the brand I left on you.”
“I already know that you’re a bad idea.”
Leah Marie Mason never tries to be perfect. Instead, she allows her edges to frame an intimate and infectious brand of music that could resonate from a small town to the top of a big city. By doing so, she energizes the genre with universal pop appeal.
By the age of 11, Leah started performing in a classic rock band with her older brother, belting out Heart and Pat Benatar covers. After a year at Berklee College of Music, she brought her talents to Nashville’s Belmont University.

Inspired by everything from the classic songwriting of George Strait, the bluegrass of The Steeldrivers, and the 21st-century sound of Billie Eilish and Dua Lipa, Mason spent countless hours writing and honed a sharp signature style, resulting in her debut single “Far Boy.”
Taking the reins of her career, Leah watched YouTube tutorials about uploading media to Spotify, outsourced cover art, and finally decided to launch a TikTok page to promote “Far Boy.” The song played over a video captioned, “I called my ex to hang out so he could listen to this song I wrote about him,” and it organically exploded with 13M views.
“I’d never fall in love just cause I’m lonely.”
After amassing tens of millions of views on TikTok and cracking over 25M streams across platforms independently, Leah made a warm introduction to fans with her debut EP, “Honeydew & Hennessy,” a collection of six carefully crafted tracks that serve as a time capsule for the growth and changes her life experiences have brought her. Continuing to magnify the scope of Country and the accessibility of pop all at once through her raw and vulnerable storytelling, “My only hope is that it can inspire someone else as well,” Leah stated.

“Tobacco on my lips and I taste regret. Waking up with ashes in the messed-up bed. Wish you would’ve left so I could just forget. I’m not the kind of girl you can wash off in the morning. Guess you’ll have to live with the brand I left on you.” – lyrics
