Despite her parents not having musical backgrounds, Lawrence was raised in a highly creative environment that deeply influenced her artistic development. Her father's work as a writer inspired her passion for songwriting, while her mother's music supervision experience and eclectic taste introduced her to influential artists like Joni Mitchell and Elliott Smith at an early age. She began piano lessons at the age of five, combining classical training with her love for pop music—an early blend that shaped her approach as a musician.{{cite news|url=https://people.com/charlotte-lawrence-dog-album-andrew-watt-exclusive-11690800#:~:text=Charlotte%20Lawrence%20Reveals%20What%20It's,Andrew%20Watt%20on%20Music%20(Exclusive)&text=Jack%20Irvin%20has%20over%20five,worked%20at%20PEOPLE%20since%202022. |title=Charlotte Lawrence Reveals What It's Like Working with Grammy-Winning Boyfriend Andrew Watt on Music (Exclusive) |first=Jack |last=Irvin |website=People |date=March 4, 2025|access-date=April 13, 2025 }}
