When life gives you “Lemonade,” you make a new album … at least in Louis Tomlinson’s case. On Tuesday, the musician released his single “Lemonade,” and announced that he’ll drop his third studio album, How Did I Get Here?, on Jan. 23, 2026.
“I sum up it as ‘The record I always deserved to make,” Tomlinson said in a statement. “My bread and butter is my honesty. I genuinely wear my heart on my sleeve, and I hope it comes through in the music.”

He added, “I’m still learning and getting better as a singer and a songwriter. I find it impossible to be complacent; it’s not in my vocabulary. For the first time now, I’m allowing myself to be the artist I’d always hoped to be.”
Tomlinson worked on the project during a three-week trip to Santa Teresa, Costa Rica, alongside his primary collaborator, Nico Rebscher. “Taking all of the steps I did to get here was important. I needed to the confidence to become the artist I wanted to be and make a hopefully big, but personal album. I think I did,” he continued.
To lead the album, Tomlinson released his single “Lemonade,” dedicated to a lady who’s “so bitter” and “so sweet” at the same time. “The most important thing was for the first single to sound ambitious sonically. It had to be big and fun,” Tomlinson added. “To me, ‘Lemonade’ really has instant and natural personality. It ended up being the perfect way to begin this chapter.”
Tomlinson is also set to host Away From Home Festival in Cooperstown, New York. Tomlinson will headline the festival, which will feature appearances from Steve Aoki, Lauv, Plain White T’s, Daya, and Isaac Anderson.
