I’m Only Fucking Myself is two months away — and Lola Young has a new song to offer. On Friday, the British star released her new single “D£aler.”
“I wanna/Get away, far from here/Pack my bags, my drugs and disappear,” she sings on the catchy chorus. “Tell you, ‘No,’ make it clear/I’m not coming back for 15 years.”
Young has been teasing the track for several days, sharing clips from the song’s video on Instagram. “D£aler” follows “Not Like That Anymore” and the viral “One Thing,” which came months into the breakthrough success of Young’s track “Messy.” The new song comes as she continues a festival run in Europe, with visits to Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Portugal next month.
“I wanted to make a song and music video that is thought-provoking and highlights sex being both a fun and light thing, not always meaningful, as well as showing how gender roles can be reversed,” Young said about “One Thing” on Instagram, later adding, “The album that is coming soon has some deeeeeep ones tho don’t you worry.”
Earlier this year, Young told Rolling Stone that I’m Only Fucking Myself, out Sept. 19, will have something for everyone. “The new album is going to be a lot more about my personal struggle and less so about love,” she said. “There’s some real bangers on there. I can’t say too much, but I can say that this feels like a step up.”
After releasing her album in September, Young will embark on a headlining tour through North America, stopping by venues like New York’s Terminal 5, Nashville’s The Pinnacle, Seattle’s WAMU Theater, and Los Angeles’ Hollywood Palladium.
