Miami-based singer/songwriter PJ Aviles returns with a heartfelt new single, “Lucky!,” a stripped-down love song that captures the rare beauty of finding someone who changes everything. Set for release on August 15th, 2025, the track arrives alongside a cinematic music video that brings its story to life in vivid detail.
Raised in a musical family with a saxophone-playing father and a home filled with sound, Aviles’ path to songwriting felt inevitable. From choir in elementary school to picking up a saxophone, then a guitar, and eventually writing his own songs in high school, music has been his constant companion. Over the past decade, he’s honed his craft with multiple EPs and a full-length album in 2023, while performing across Florida’s local circuit. In recent years, Aviles has shifted his focus inward, dedicating his energy to songwriting and production, the true core of his artistry.
At its heart, “Lucky!” is about gratitude, the awe of realizing how lucky it feels to fall in love. Aviles keeps the production minimal, allowing the lyrics and story to take center stage. The result is intimate, direct, and emotionally resonant, reminding listeners of the simple yet profound joy love brings.
The song’s companion video expands the narrative. Set around an old 1980s Volvo, it tells the story of young lovers growing old, culminating in a striking visual moment where the car is set on fire. Equal parts nostalgic and symbolic, the video mirrors the song’s themes of love, impermanence, and memory.
With “Lucky!” serving as the first of several upcoming singles, PJ Aviles is entering a new creative chapter, one that balances honesty in storytelling with a cinematic edge in presentation. “I really want people to fall in love with the music video in tandem with the song,” Aviles says. “I was lucky enough to execute that vision, and I can’t wait to share it.”
For fans of singer/songwriters who blur the lines between indie authenticity and pop accessibility, PJ Aviles’ “Lucky!” is a release to watch. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the most powerful stories are the simplest ones, and that love itself might just be the luckiest gift of all.
