Louis Tomlinson Releases New Track 'Palaces'

Third Album 'How Did I Get Here?' Released 23rd January 2026

Global music superstar Louis Tomlinson today releases another taste from his upcoming third album - 'Palaces'.

'Palaces' is a punchy and anthemic slice of guitar led pop about going back to your hometown, that was written and recorded in the UK.

"I'm lost in the time, I don't care for the world outside, you can stay through the night in the palaces of my mind."

Louis's third album 'How Did I Get Here?' will be released on 23rd January 2026 and is available for pre-order now at https://louist.lnk.to/HowDidIGetHerePR

For his third album Louis has pushed himself as a lyricist, songwriter, and performer, holding nothing back on these tracks. As a writer, he’s diving deeper into who he is than ever before. This time around, Louis assembled a handful of initial ideas in the English countryside before decamping to Santa Teresa in Costa Rica for three weeks in early 2025. He dove into writing and recording alongside primary collaborator and co-producer Nico Rebscher [Aurora, Alice Merton]. The atmosphere of his surroundings underscored the ensuing body of work.

First single 'Lemonade' has already been streamed over 14 million times and playlisted by Radio 1, Radio 2 and Capital in the UK. Louis recently performed on Radio 1's Live Lounge singing both 'Lemonade' and a cover of Hozier’s 'Too Sweet', and has been confirmed to headline Capital's Jingle Bell Ball in December. In October Louis was the cover of Rolling Stone UK Magazine. Louis will also be releasing an 'Amazon Music Presents' session of 'Palaces' that will drop today at 7pm.

Louis also recently announced a huge 'How Did We Get Here?' 2026 world arena tour that will visit Europe and North America starting March 2026. Tickets are on sale now.

Following a world-conquering run as a member of One Direction, Louis formally introduced himself as a solo artist with Walls [2020]. Dubbed “excellent” by Rolling Stone, his debut LP moved over 1.2 million copies worldwide and reeled in nearly 1 billion total streams. Two years later, he leveled up on Faith In The Future [2022]. The album hit No.1 in the UK, Spain, Argentina and Belgium and cracked the Top 5 of the US Billboard 200, capturing No.2 on the Top Album Sales Chart, Top Current Album Sales Chart, Top Independent Albums Chart, and Top Vinyl Albums Chart. 

Louis has shined on collaborations such as the Platinum-certified “Back To You” [feat. Bebe Rexha & Digital Farm Animals] and Gold-certified “Just Hold On” with Steve Aoki. Beyond a slew of awards, he also impressively emerged as the rare presence who could appear on Family Guy or compete in the coveted football game Soccer Aid on the English squad. Along the way, he launched The Away From Home Festival (now in its fifth year), which he curates and headlines. 

Notably, the Faith in the Future World Tour canvased five continents and affirmed his status as one of today’s most in-demand live performers, selling out arenas to capacity in 34 countries and stadiums in five countries, making an incredible homecoming at The O2 Arena in London. He accomplished yet another extraordinary feat and once again made history as the very first male solo artist to headline Mexico City’s Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez F1 track. In 2023 Louis released a feature length documentary 'All Of Those Voices' which was screened in cinemas in 65 countries, and had movie premieres in London, Tokyo, LA and Mexico City.
