In 2008, McLaughlin premiered his song “Beating My Heart,” which was released to mainstream radio. The song was praised by Billboard single reviews editors Chuck Taylor, who wrote “It’s high time for singer/songwriter Jon McLaughlin to earn his due.” He described the song as, “a joyous uptempo romantic romp, featuring hook after hook, from tinkling piano to driving percussion and a start-and-stop bridge, alongside a joyous effortless vocal that soars with falsetto to the high heavens.” He also stated “proper promotion of it could propel the artist to superstar status.”
