“My bread and butter is the honesty. I genuinely wear my heart on my sleeve, and I hope it comes through in the music," Louis shares about the new LP, How Did I Get Here?, due out everywhere on January 23, 2026. "I’m still learning and getting better as a singer and a songwriter. I find it impossible to be complacent; it’s not in my vocabulary. For the first time now, I’m allowing myself to be the artist I’d always hoped to be.”
“Taking all of the steps I did to get here was important. I needed to the confidence to become the artist I wanted to be and make a hopefully big, but personal album," the One Direction alum adds. "I think I did.”
It all starts with a sonically shimmering and swaggering lead single, "Lemonade," which announces a new beginning for Tomlinson and willingness to be big, fun, and fearless.
