Internationally acclaimed singer, songwriter, and global superstar Louis Tomlinson has officially launched a new musical era with the release of his brand-new single “Lemonade,” available now on all major streaming platforms. Accompanying the single is the long-awaited announcement of his third studio album, titled How Did I Get Here?, set to be released on January 23, 2026. Fans can pre-order/add/save the album HERE.

The release of “Lemonade” signals the beginning of a bold and transformative new chapter in Louis Tomlinson’s artistic journey—one that sees the singer-songwriter stepping fully into his creative identity with renewed confidence and purpose. Tomlinson describes it as his most personal and creatively fulfilling work yet.

Tomlinson shares: “The most important thing was for the first single to sound ambitious sonically. It had to be big and fun. To me, ‘Lemonade’ really has instant and natural personality. It ended up being the perfect way to begin this chapter.”

On his forthcoming album, Tomlinson reveals: “I sum up it as ‘The record I always deserved to make,” he says. “My bread and butter is my honesty. I genuinely wear my heart on my sleeve, and I hope it comes through in the music. 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.”

With his third studio album, Tomlinson has pushed himself harder than ever before—not just as a vocalist, but as a lyricist and storyteller. Every track feels like a testament to his evolution, both personal and artistic. While he no longer needs to prove his place in the music world, Louis approaches each lyric, performance, and creative decision with the same fire and urgency as someone with everything still on the line.

This journey began with a handful of song sketches written in the quiet of the English countryside before Louis relocated to the tranquil surf town of Santa Teresa, Costa Rica, in early 2025. There, he immersed himself in the creative process for three transformative weeks, collaborating closely with Nico Rebscher (Aurora, Alice Merton), who served as the album’s primary co-producer.

“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. I think I did.”

In addition to new music, Tomlinson has also announced a massive world tour in support of the new album. The tour kicks off in Europe on March 23, 2026, and runs through May 3, before heading to North America on June 3, wrapping up on July 24 in Miami, FL.

About Louis Tomlinson

Following his global success as a member of the record-breaking group One Direction, Louis Tomlinson has firmly established himself as a solo artist with a distinct voice, dedicated fanbase, and an ever-evolving artistic vision.

He made his solo debut with the 2020 album Walls, which Rolling Stone praised as “excellent.” The record resonated with audiences worldwide, selling over 1.2 million copies and amassing nearly 1 billion global streams, laying the foundation for Tomlinson’s new creative path. In 2022, he followed up with the ambitious and sonically expansive Faith In The Future, which marked a significant step forward. The album topped the charts in the U.K., Spain, Argentina, and Belgium, while also making a strong impact in the United States—reaching the Top 5 on the Billboard 200 and landing at No. 2 across the Top Album Sales, Top Current Albums, Top Independent Albums, and Top Vinyl Albums charts.

Tomlinson’s reach goes well beyond music. A rare multi-dimensional talent, he has appeared in popular culture touchstones such as “Family Guy” and played for the English national team in the charity football match Soccer Aid, reflecting his crossover appeal and continued public resonance.

In 2023, Louis released the intimate and widely praised feature-length documentary “All Of Those Voices,” offering fans an unfiltered look at his life, artistry, and growth. The film premiered in London, Los Angeles, Tokyo, and Mexico City, and was screened in cinemas across 65 countries, further solidifying his global influence.
