Louis Tomlinson has officially unveiled How Did I Get Here?, his third studio album as a solo artist. The record was released this Friday through BMG and is now available on all digital platforms, as well as in physical formats including vinyl, cassette and CD.
The album was recorded throughout 2025, with its creative process taking place between the United Kingdom and Costa Rica. Early songwriting sessions began in the English countryside before Tomlinson relocated to Santa Teresa, where he spent several weeks working closely with producer and co-writer Nico Rebscher to finalize the project.
How Did I Get Here? features tracks such as Lemonade, Palaces, Imposter, Sunflowers and Lucid, showcasing a sound that blends pop with indie influences, highlighted by the use of guitars, synthesizers and string arrangements.
Lemonade served as the album’s lead single and received significant airplay on major UK radio stations including BBC Radio 1, Radio 2 and Capital. The song was also performed by Tomlinson during a Live Lounge session on BBC Radio 1. The second single, Palaces, was presented through various live performances and special sessions, while Imposter was released alongside a music video starring British actor James Nelson-Joyce.
Alongside the album release, Tomlinson announced a new world tour titled How Did We Get Here?, set to kick off in March 2026. The tour will include dates across Europe and North America, with tickets already on sale.
To support the album’s launch, the singer carried out a series of promotional appearances in the United States, including a performance in New York and a television appearance on The Tonight Show. He also revealed plans for an immersive event in London connected to the album’s concept.
Louis Tomlinson began his solo career in 2020 with Walls. In 2022, he released Faith in the Future, which reached number one on the charts in countries such as the United Kingdom, Spain, Argentina and Belgium, and also landed in the Top 5 of the Billboard 200.
