Lola Young Announces New Album ‘I’m Only F–king Myself’: Here’s When It Arrives

Lola Young only has “One Thing” on her mind: The British songwriter’s third full-length album is officially on its way.

Young will release I’m Only F–king Myself on Sept. 19, following a huge 18 months that have put the Londoner on the map as a main pop girl. The forthcoming record was written with her production team and band: Connor Dickinson, Will Brown and Jared Solomon (also known as Solomonophonic). On her Instagram, Young wrote, “My ode to self sabotage, my chance to claw myself back from the edge of defeat.”

The announcement comes after the 24-year-old confirmed earlier this week that her next single, “Not Like That Anymore,” will land Friday (June 20). The breakthrough star has enjoyed a jam-packed few weeks of promo, opening up for Billie Eilish at the Paris dates of her Hit Me Hard and Soft tour as well as appearing at London’s Wembley Stadium for the Capital FM Summertime Ball.

In May, Young released I’m Only F–king Myself’s bubbly lead single “One Thing.” The track peaked at No. 19 on the Official U.K. Singles Chart, marking her second top 20 to date, following the stratospheric success of 2024’s “Messy.”

The latter enjoyed a slow-burn rise to the summit of the U.K. charts, hitting No. 1 in January – eight months after it was initially released. The song stayed there for four weeks and also reached No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100. It has been streamed more than 600 million times on Spotify to date, leading to Young securing slots at the likes of Coachella and Glastonbury.

Young scooped the rising star accolade at this year’s Ivor Novello awards following her best pop act nomination at this year’s BRIT Awards. She is scheduled to perform at festivals across the U.K. and Europe throughout the summer, including Reading & Leeds in August. 

In 2024, Young unveiled This Wasn’t Meant for You Anyway. The LP followed her debut project My Mind Wanders And Sometimes Leaves Completely, which arrived the year prior.
