29th July, 2025Ivor Novello Rising Star Winner and BRIT Award-nominated South London artist Lola Young
unveils her single ‘d£aler’, from her highly-anticipated album I’m Only F**king Myself, due
out 19th September.
In spite of ‘d£aler’ documenting Lola’s journey and turbulent path through the struggles of
self sabotage, it is wrapped up in one of the album’s catchiest melodies, as a shuffling drum
beat, synths and twanging guitars envelop one of the most lyrically-personal songs on the
album.
I’m Only F**king Myself encapsulates Lola’s 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
which has already included her much anticipated appearance at Glastonbury, alongside
shows at Lollapalooza in Paris, Way Out West and Lowlands.
In October, she’ll play her biggest UK headline shows to date, including two nights at
Manchester’s O2 Victoria Warehouse, the O2 Academy in Birmingham, and two nights at
London’s O2 Academy Brixton, before an anticipated return to North America for headline
shows in 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.
