Global music superstar Louis Tomlinson has released “Palaces,” another taste from his upcoming third album ‘How Did I Get Here?’out now. The punchy and anthemic slice of guitar-led pop about going back to your hometown was written and recorded in the UK. “I’m lost in time, I don’t care for the world outside,” he sings on the track. “You can stay through the night in the palaces of my mind.” An Amazon Music Presents session of “Palaces” has also been released. 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.
For his third album, Tomlinson 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. The atmosphere of his surroundings underscored the ensuing body of work.
Louis recently announced a huge ‘How Did We Get Here? 2026 World Arena Tour’ visiting Europe and North America starting in March 2026. The tour will reach North American shores on June 3rd at the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, making 27 additional arena stops across the country, including at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, Madison Square Garden in New York, and TD Garden in Boston, before concluding the North American leg on July 24th in Miami at the Kaseya Center.
