South London singer-songwriter Lola Young is back with a powerful announcement. Her third studio album I’m Only F**king Myself lands on 19th September via Island/Day One. Alongside the album news, Lola will release a new single ‘Not Like That Anymore’ this Friday, offering fans a first glimpse at her evolved sound.
This new track captures her signature defiance. It’s built for shouting back at the world and reclaiming control. The song follows the success of ‘One Thing’, which has already become a streaming hit and continues to climb the UK Top 20.
Co-written and produced with Manuka and SOLOMONOPHONIC, the album showcases Lola’s artistic growth. It dives into complex topics like self-sabotage, emotional escapism and raw vulnerability. Rather than sugar-coating the struggles, Lola meets them head-on with honesty and fire.
A voice for a generation, ready to speak louder than ever
Lola’s career trajectory shows no signs of slowing. With over one billion streams across her catalogue, she stands as one of the UK’s most exciting and authentic pop voices. Her 2024 album This Wasn’t Meant For You Anyway featured the platinum-certified number one single ‘Messy’, which topped the UK chart for four weeks.
That momentum carries into this new chapter. I’m Only F**king Myself blends light and dark, pairing catchy production with lyrics that reveal Lola’s deepest thoughts. Every track feels personal, yet relatable, making the album her most daring project to date.
Beyond the studio, Lola’s presence continues to grow. This year, she performed at Coachella and supported Billie Eilish in Paris. She’ll appear at Glastonbury later this month, followed by a run of major festivals across Europe. Then, she heads to North America for a headline tour through November and December.
Her live performances bring the same energy and honesty as her recordings. Whether on stage or in the studio, Lola remains unfiltered, bold and determined to share her truth. Each release brings her closer to becoming one of the defining voices of her generation.
With I’m Only F**king Myself, Lola Young doesn’t hold back. She’s not chasing trends or playing it safe. Instead, she’s creating music that reflects her real experiences and offering fans something raw, genuine and unforgettable. The countdown to 19th September starts now.
