Louis Tomlinson has announced his third solo album titled How Did I Get Here?, which is scheduled for release on January 23, 2026. The announcement came on September 23, 2025, alongside the release of the album’s lead single, “Lemonade.” The album was developed in scenic locations including the English countryside and Santa Teresa, Costa Rica, where Tomlinson collaborated with co-producer Nico Rebscher. Tomlinson described the album as the record he has always wanted to create, emphasizing the honesty and personal growth that defines the project. This album marks his continued evolution as an artist, as he embraces authenticity and growth both as a singer and songwriter.

Key milestones on the tour include his first solo headline show at Madison Square Garden on July 8, 2026.

The album and tour come after Tomlinson’s successful previous studio releases, Walls (2020) and Faith in the Future (2022), solidifying his solo career beyond his years with One Direction.
