Louis Tomlinson has returned with a brand new single just one day after he announced his new album, Walls, would be out in January of 2020.
The 27-year-old singer released the music video for his brand new single, “We Made It.”
Louis tells Billboard the lyrics to the chorus of “We Made It” represent the sense of achievement he now feels thanks to his fans, who have stuck patiently by his side as he worked to set himself apart as a solo artist.
“There’s lyrics in there that relate to me personally — I’ve spoken about times in the past, especially in those first 18 months of One Direction, I struggled to find my place,” Louis says. “It’s kind of just reflecting on those times. Also, like many songs, rooting for the underdog. Trying to capture all of that.”
Since One Direction went on hiatus in 2015, Louis says it’s been a “massive learning process.”
“The experience that I had in One Direction was absolutely fucking incredible,” he says. “But it’s a very different kind of experience. For the music industry, that’s not a real-life example.”
He explains, “There were conversations before that I never had to get involved with before when I was in the band — I’ve had to think on my feet and learn on the job. It’s all part of making you a better person, better artist, better businessman, all that.”
Louis also announced his upcoming world tour dates! Check them out below.
