Lola Young may be “Messy,” but she’s been climbing the chart with her breakthrough, viral single.
“Messy” hit No. 1 on the U.K. Singles Chart, dethroning Gracie Abrams’ “That’s So True.” The track also peaked at No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100.
“What I’m realizing about myself as an artist is that I’m not about the glitz and the glam — I don’t scream ‘Hollywood’,” the rising star previously told Billboard of her musical journey. “For a long time, I wanted to represent this ideal of Westernized beauty – but then I realized I’m not that. I now choose to give realness and truth. I’ve got a bit of a belly out, I f–cking swear a bunch and I have fun. And that’s what people are resonating with.”

Below, find the lyrics to Lola Young’s “Messy.”
You know I’m impatientSo why would you leave me waiting outside the stationWhen it was like minus four degrees? And II get what you’re sayin’I just really don’t wanna hear it right nowCan you shut up for like once in your life?Listen to me, I took your nice words of adviceAbout how you think I’m gonna die, lucky if I turn thirty-threeOkay, so yeah, I smoke like a chimneyI’m not skinny and I pull a Britney every other weekBut cut me some slack, who do you want me to be?
‘Cause I’m too messy, and then I’m too f—ing cleanYou told me, “Get a job”, then you ask where the hell I’ve beenAnd I’m too perfect ’til I open my big mouthI want to be me, is that not allowed?And I’m too clever and then I’m too f—ing dumbYou hate it when I cry unless it’s that time of the monthAnd I’m too perfect ’til I show you that I’m notA thousand people I could be for you when you hate the f—ing lotYou hate the f—ing lotYou hate the f—ing lotYou hate, you hate
It’s taking you agesYou still don’t get the hint I’m not asking for pagesBut one text or two would be nice andPlease, don’t pull those facesWhen I’ve been out working my a– off all dayIt’s just one bottle of wine or two, but, heyYou can’t even talk, you smoke weed just to help you sleepThen why you out getting stoned at four o’clockAnd then you come home to me?And don’t say hello ’cause I got high againAnd forgot to fold my clothes
‘Cause I’m too messy, and then I’m too f—ing cleanYou told me, “Get a job”, then you ask where the hell I’ve beenAnd I’m too perfect ’til I open my big mouthI want to be me, is that not allowed?And I’m too clever and then I’m too f—ing dumbYou hate it when I cry unless it’s that time of the monthAnd I’m too perfect ’til I show you that I’m notA thousand people I could be for you when you hate the f—ing lotYou hate the f—ing lotYou hate the f—ing lot
Oh, and I’m too messy, and then I’m too f—ing cleanYou told me, “Get a job”, then you ask where the hell I’ve beenAnd I’m too perfect ’til I open my big mouthI want to be me, is that not allowed?And I’m too clever and then I’m too f—ing dumbYou hate it when I cry unless it’s that time of the monthAnd I’m too perfect ’til I show you that I’m notA thousand people I could be for you when you hate the f—ing lotYou hate the f—ing lotYou hate the f—ing lotYou hate the f—ing lotYou hate the f—ng lot

“I thought we had something good in our hands,” Damiano David sings on his new single, “Next Summer.” But what fans actually have is something good in our ears.
The song — the third single from the Måneskin frontman’s upcoming debut solo project — arrived on Thursday (Feb. 27) and finds the Italian musician continuing on his pop journey, this time with a notable ache and jealousy in his voice.
“Call me when he breaks your heart next summer/ Baby, I’ll be waiting here/ Call me when you’re all f–ked up, my lover, and I’ll be there to lick your tears/ You had to throw away our love to find out nothing’s as good as us/ So call me when he breaks your heart next summer,” he sings, full of longing on the tender chorus.
While the song may seem like it’s about a spurned lover bitter about the end of his relationship and eager to rekindle the snuffed flame, David says there’s much more to it.
“I put down in words a moment I lived during the summer,” he tells Billboard of the track that he wrote while he was in Los Angeles last fall. “I guess it was a way, as I always do with my music, to cope with my experiences in life and feelings.”
“The lyrics are very simple, quite childish. So I’ve asked myself why I ended up with this kind of lyrics, and I guess it’s because what I tried to do was tell a more intense and complicated feeling in the easiest way possible,” he explains. “It’s about not dealing with yourself and being stuck in your own limits without really understanding why things happen. It’s about not being able to face our mistakes, and instead, in a cowardly way, wishing that your mistakes could be someone else’s.”
Ahead of “Next Summer,” the musician released a cover of Miley Cyrus and Mark Ronson’s “Nothing Breaks Like a Heart” as a Spotify Single for Valentine’s Day. From his own upcoming project, he dropped the peppy “Born With a Broken Heart” in October as his second solo single, and “Silverlines” in September for his debut song.
Speaking to Billboard at the time about going his own way musically and introducing listeners to the solo Damiano David via “Silverlines,” he shared of the vulnerable and melancholic track, “It’s basically describing my whole journey.” He added, “The goal of this song is not topping the charts. I’m introducing myself to the world … But I’m just very glad I have the opportunity to do this, and the results will come.”
What’s also coming for the singer is a 33-date world tour, with multiple shows already sold out. That includes the tour-opening performance Sept. 11 in Warsaw, followed by dates in Berlin, Paris, London and Rome before the trek heads to Australia, Japan and South America, and finally landing stateside in Seattle Nov. 21. The tour is slated to end Dec. 16 in Washington, D.C.

Justin Bieber let fans in on his smoke break Thursday (Feb. 27), with the star sharing a carefree video of himself enjoying what appears to be a blunt or cigar while jamming out to Don Toliver on Instagram Stories.
In the clip, Bieber keeps his face close to the camera while inhaling thick clouds of smoke and exhaling straight into the lens, giving a couple of cheeky smiles. All the while, he bops along to the Houston-born rapper’s “Hardstone National Anthem,” which appears on Toliver’s Hardstone Psycho. Released in June, the album reached No. 3 on the Billboard 200.
The “Peaches” singer has worked with Toliver in the past, appearing on the latter’s 2023 Love Sick track “Private Landing” alongside Future. The “Bandit” musician also joined Bieber on the 2022 single “Honest.”

Bieber’s Thursday afternoon smoke sesh comes two days after he posted a different video of himself vibing to music on Instagram, that time hanging out with a friend and freestyling a silly rap: “High like a fly guy/ I fly high like a magpie/ I go high like a bad guy.” Doechii commented, “me asf lmaaooo.”
The clips follow shortly after a rep for Justin and his wife, model Hailey Bieber — with whom he welcomed his first son, Jack Blues, in August — disputed speculation that the musician is using hard drugs in a statement shared with TMZ Feb. 23. Calling the rumors “exhausting and pitiful,” the spokesperson said that the misconception “shows that despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive.”
The rep also added that this past year has been “very transformative for him as he ended several close friendships and business relationships that no longer served him.”
Justin has been notably more active on social media recently, though not all of his posts have been as unserious as his latest video. Earlier this month, he posted an earnest note on Instagram Stories declaring that it’s “time to grow up,” adding, “changing is about letting go!”
“Are you tired of trying to follow all of the rules in hopes to get the results you crave?” he continued in the Feb. message. “Ive found love to be more powerful than rules. I tried to follow the rules. Im not good at it. But u dont need to follow rules to enter into a life of love. U just receive so enter love living! God always grants us love! … Today im letting go and remembering the weight isnt on me to change. The weight is on God. So I give all my insecurities and my fears to him this morning. Because I know he gladly takes it.”
