The London-born singer-songwriter, known for her genre-blending mix of soul, pop, and gritty alt-rock, delivers a fierce anthem of self-reclamation. After her 2023 debut My Mind Wanders and Sometimes Leaves Completely won hearts with its bold vulnerability, Lola doubles down here with biting lyricism and a defiant edge. First teased at her electrifying Glastonbury 2025 set, Not Like That Anymore channels her journey from self-destruction to empowerment, echoing the album’s themes of breaking free from toxic cycles, much like tracks such as “Wish You Were Dead” or “Don’t Hate Me.”

The chorus is a middle finger to her past, blending humor and defiance as she celebrates cutting ties with a toxic ex. Fans on X are raving about her cheeky wordplay and the lo-fi rock production, comparing it to her earlier hit “So Sick of Myself” but with a sharper, more liberated vibe.

Lyrics of Not Like That Anymore by Lola Young
[Intro]
One, Two, One, Two, Three, Four
[Verse 1]
I’m A Dumb Little Addict So I’ve Been Tryna Quit The Snowflake
I Guess Life Sucks D**k But Especially If You Sniff It All Away
I Did Some Damage To My Ex But,
God Dammit, I Should Have Broke That Prick’s Face
My Next Man, Yeah, He’s Gotta Be Magic,
Abracadabra And I’m In Space
[Pre-Chorus]
And It Goes On And On And On And On
[Chorus]
And Now I’m Locked Out, Got Nowhere To Go
And My Phone Got Stolen And My Balance Is Low
But If I Look On The Brightside
At Least I’m Not F**king Myself Anymore, Not Anymore
And I Got A Little Kick Out Of Declining Your Call
I Guess That Means I Don’t Need Your D**k At All
And So I’m F**king Myself, But Not Like That Anymore
[Verse 2]
I Was A Sad Little B**ch But If I’m Honest,
Shit, I’ve Barely Damn Changed
I’ve Just Got A Little Bit Older And
A Little Bit Closer To Death’s Gates, Yeah
I Like A Dopamine Hit More Than A Fat Kid Loves Cake
And I Can’t Say That I’m Happy, Yeah,
But Least Now I’m Heading The Right Way, Not The Highway
[Pre-Chorus]
And It Goes On And On And On And On
[Chorus]
And Now I’m Locked Out, Got Nowhere To Go
And My Phone Got Stolen And My Balance Is Low
But If I Look On The Bright Side
At Least I’m Not F**king Myself Anymore, Not Anymore
And I Got A Little Kick Out Of Declining Your Call
I Guess That Means I Don’t Need Your D**k At All
And So I’m F**king Myself, But Not Like That Anymore
[Bridge]
And So I’m F**king Myself But Not Like That
And Then I’m F**king Myself But Not Like That
And I’m F**king Myself But Not Like That
And I’m F**king Myself But Not Like That
And I’m F**king Myself But Not Like That
And I’m F**king Myself But Not Like That
And I’m F**king Myself But Not Like That Anymore
[Chorus]
And I Got A Little Kick Out Of Declining Your Call
I Guess That Means I Don’t Need Your D**k At All
And So I’m F**king Myself, But Not Like That Anymore
