Ivor Novello’s Rising Star Winner and BRIT Award-nominated South London artist Lola Young announces her new album, I’m Only F**king Myself, due 19th September via Island/Day One. Alongside her album announcement, Lola will deliver new single ‘Not Like That Anymore’, a fist-in-the-air anthem built for shouting back at the world, this Friday.
Lola’s upcoming third album encapsulates emotional and musical growth. It’s a bright, touching body of work that often dives into the dark and raw but is counterbalanced by Lola’s uncompromising attitude, unafraid to get candid with exactly how she feels. Co-written and produced with frequent collaborators Manuka and SOLOMONOPHONIC (Doja Cat, SZA), I’m Only F**king Myself explores themes of self-sabotage, using vices like sex and drugs as a form of escapism, which can quickly turn into nihilism. It features Lola’s recent offering, ‘One Thing’, which has accumulated millions of streams and continues to climb the Top 20 UK Singles Chart since its release.
Lola is the recipient of the ‘Rising Star’ accolade at this year’s Ivor Novello Awards, following her ‘Best Pop Act’ nomination at this year’s BRIT Awards. She has since collaborated with Tyler, The Creator (‘Like Him’), and Lil Yachty (‘Charlie’) and continues to make a global impact with her music and compelling personality. Following her debut appearance at Coachella earlier this year, Lola opened for Billie Eilish in Paris during her Hit Me Hard and Soft headline tour and has an exciting UK and European Summer festival run, including a hotly-tipped debut appearance at Glastonbury next Friday before an anticipated return to North America for headline shows this November - full dates below.
Boasting over 1 billion all-time streams globally across her catalogue of releases, Lola Young continues to achieve tremendous success. Her platinum-certified #1 single ‘Messy’ from her acclaimed 2024 album, This Wasn’t Meant For You Anyway, held the top spot in the UK for four consecutive weeks, making Lola one of only two British female artists to reach #1 in the UK Singles Chart within the last year.
As one of the UK’s most arresting voices making an impact globally, Lola Young's upcoming album, I’m Only F**king Myself, proves that she is poised to become a voice of her generation.
