Press Release

Global chart-topping artist Louis Tomlinson releases his latest single, “Imposter,” with an official music video, out today. The reflective video for “Imposter” stars RTS-winning actor James Nelson-Joyce (“This City Is Ours,” “A Thousand Blows”). Watch here.

“Imposter” is a raw and low-fi indie pop song featuring a pulsing bassline and dirty guitars. Written by Tomlinson with Nico Rebscher and Dave Gibson, the lyrics talk about his reality of experiencing imposter syndrome and not feeling worthy. 

"I can't get this feeling out my head, that I am the imposter. I don’t really know who I am anymore," Tomlinson said. " ‘Imposter’ was written in the jungle in Costa Rica. Conceptually, it leans into the idea of identity. It’s probably the most melodic moment on the record. I’m really excited for the world to finally hear it!"

Listen to "Imposter" here.

“Imposter” is taken from Tomlinson’s upcoming third album, “How Did I Get Here?” It will be released this Friday and is available for preorder here.

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, Tomlinson 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 Rebscher (Aurora, Alice Merton). The atmosphere of his surroundings underscored the ensuing body of work.

Tomlinson has just announced a special underplay show at Racket in New York this Friday, and he will appear as speaking and performing guest on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” this Thursday. This year, Tomlinson will embark on a huge “How Did We Get Here?” world arena tour that will visit Europe and North America starting in March. Tickets are on sale now. Visit www.louis-tomlinson.com.

More about Louis Tomlinson: Following a world-conquering run as a member of One Direction, Tomlinson 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.” The album hit No. 1 in the U.K., Spain, Argentina and Belgium, and cracked the Top 5 of the U.S. 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.

Tomlinson 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, Tomlinson 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.
