Lola Young Shares Highly Personal New Single ‘What Is It About Me’
The single arrives ahead of Young’s new album ‘My Mind Wanders And Sometimes Leaves Completely,’ due out on May 26
Rising, BRIT-nominated singer/songwriter Lola Young has shared her brand new single “What Is It About Me” via Day One/Island Records. You can check it out below.
“What Is It About Me” is the fourth and arguably most vulnerable offering from Lola’s upcoming album. Throughout the song, she maintains a sense of desperation to find understanding in a relationship that is proving to be one sided – a scenario that’s all to easy to understand for the majority of people.
Young’s upcoming album, My Mind Wanders And Sometimes Leaves Completely set for release on May 26 represents the start of a new chapter for the 22-year-old artist. Stepping into a new light of expression, Lola explores new depths of her creativity whilst consistently drawing her authentic South London edge through the project. She blends her passionate vocals with the emotions she is exploring with her casual wit and frankness, offering a genuine insightful experience for fans.
When speaking about her upcoming project, Lola said in a statement, “It’s my journey towards being a woman and figuring out who I am.” My Mind Wanders And Sometimes Leaves Completely includes previous offerings “Annabel’s House,” “Stream of Consciousness” and viral hit “Don’t Hate Me.”
With the likes of Bella Hadid, Kylie Jenner and SZA jumping on the “Don’t Hate Me” sound on TikTok ahead of its release, Nicole & Brooklyn Peltz Beckham and Queen of Pop, Madonna, have since used the sound in their clips on the platform, cementing Lola’s global appeal. In her music, Young explores themes of love bombing, gaslighting, body image and depression, creating a relatable & deeply connecting body of work for all listeners to delve into.
With a BRIT ‘Rising Star’ nomination and a BBC Sound Poll shortlist inclusion under her belt, Lola Young’s undeniable creative output and talent hasn’t gone unnoticed. Last week, she headlined The Dublin Castle in Camden ahead of her performance in Berlin’s Baketown this April. Last summer, she appeared on festival stages across the UK and Europe performing at Glastonbury, Bestival, The Great Escape and All Points East among others.

I like the words, just not the music. I heard her on last year’s Graham Norton Show and really loved the words. She’s one very talented young woman!
